I made this card for the current Muse challenge, the color portion of the Friday Mashup Challenge and the Ombre Challenge at Simon Says Stamp. I was immediately drawn to the beautiful colors on the Friday Mashup graphic and tried to incorporate as many as I could into my card.
From Anita's gorgeous card, I took the general layout, the "row" of floral images and the darker strips top and bottom of the image panel.
I watercolored the flowers with my Zig markers after white embossing them onto watercolor paper. I also watercolored a panel in ombre fashion to layer behind the Soft Stone layer. All three flowers are popped up on foam tape. The sentiment is stamped in Enchanted Evening ink. Here's a close up:
And that's about all there is to say about this card! Thanks for visiting.

I was sitting here thinking how pretty those flowers look and then realized I have this set but haven't used it much! These look awesome embossed in white and shaded in grey and blue! So glad you joined us at Muse this week Karren!

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "I'm not that fussed with it", but I find it just lovely! I just love how you used the challenge colors to make your center flower stand out. Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
