Water Flowers, Not Weeds

     I'm posting a reminder for those of you who haven't yet played in our Anything Goes challenge over at Jan's Digi Stamps.  Our challenge will run until the evening of Sunday, May 3, and you may use any products from any company.  However, if you choose to use an image from Jan's, your entry will be put into a separate draw just for those using Jan's and that increases your chances of winning by a huge amount.

      For this card, I used an image from "Friendship Flowers 702J."  I printed the colored version but in gray scale instead of color, then used a highlighting technique wherein I colored only a small part of the image, making that part seem 'highlighted.' 

     The sentiment is from that same set and seemed very appropriate for our current days when it's so easy to focus on all the deprivations instead of finding a few blessings.  :-D

I used colors from Color My Heart #38, starting with

the diagonal colors from top right down to bottom left,

and then added all the other colors on the board

 before it was all finished, except for the Candy Apple.  :-D
