Hero Arts Flower Challenge


Woke up this morning and saw that Hero Arts is having a Fabulous Flower challenge.  I am a very slow stamper but the idea for this card popped in my mind and I decided to make it before the day got away from me.

I wanted to make it in the "Kay Miller" style.  I'll never be Kay, but I solove her style and have been meaning to try my hand at it. 

Stamps and flower die from Hero Arts Graphic Flowers; Flower inks from Altenew; background inks are Ranger Distress Stains.  Border dies from My Favorite Things.  The layers are watercolor paper.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!!

so stunning, Joan - love the colors you used and the stitched borders just give it that added pizzazz (not sure how to spell??) - anyway it's cool!

such a lovely card! the law firm tells M that she must contact them because they need her to immediately to settle her debts but don't worry it's a scam not even from that actual law firm

You nailed it, Joan! As soon as I scrolled down to this card, I thought, "She channeled Kay Miller!" There's not much higher compliment when it comes to watercolors, is there? :-}
