Wonderful Gerberas

I had such fun working this card up for the Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge this month which is all about coloring.  I love coloring.  I love flowers.  I love coloring flowers.  Hmm, that wasn't hard to figure out what would be the focus of my card, huh?

I chose a digi from Power Poppy, printing it out at default size.  I started out with the melon then yellow flower.  The burgundy flower?  Yeah, that started out bright pink.  Like what was I thinking pink (RV00, 02 and 04).  I first layered on R22 to tone it down but it was still too bright relative to the other flowers so I went way deeper with R37 and R39 shadow.  Now it looks like the bright pink is intentional highlighting.  Shh, let's keep it between ourselves.  :)

Now color up whatever your like and share it with us.  It is so fun and amazing to see what you create for our challenges--truly inspiring!

The Details:  Power Poppy Gerbera Daisies, Hero Arts tiny bee, Copics, PTI 140lb white cardstock base, Crafter's Companion 80lb cardstock, mystery green that I love because of the pebbly texture (Bazzil maybe)

    Sorry for the late commenting Toni but, as you probably know, I have been away for nearly all of September (without internet), so have been unable to. Love those fabulous warm colours that you have used on these beautiful, bold, blooms! Have a lovely Sunday! Hazel xx
