This is my second post of the day and I want to welcome you to our latest challenge at SheepSki Designs. Our theme this month is "Flower Power" and Andrea has some of most incredible flower images, including this one "Gladioli No. 142."
I remember my mom grew glads in her garden and my favorites of all the colors she raised were a soft, peachy-pink that faded into almost white around the very edges of the petals. I tried to re-create those when I colored this image with ProMarkers and water colors. I cut the image with a rectangle die from QuicKutz and inked the edges with a ProMarker.
I printed the sentiment using a computer font, then cut that with an Unbranded die. The circle was cut with a die from Memory Box.
Challenges:
