I was quite amazed at how quickly this came together - the colours are not ones that I would have planned to put together, but this one seemed to make itself.
The centre image is from the Layers of Color Architectural Blocks set, coloured with SU coloured pencils and the blender pen. The colours are much deeper, and more vivid IRL, but this is a reasonable representation of them, apart from the ribbon.
The sentiment is embossed on vellum and sponged with Whisper Ink Rich Plum, and tones in well with the lighter pink in the flower and the pink in the ribbon.
Thanks for calling by - I treasure your comments.
What a spectacular flower. Great background and color combination. Love your ribbon. Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. We love this fabulous creation you treated us too!!!
