I've become a fan of the rotating challenges at JUGS: colors, trends, words, photos, and occasionally a wild card week. This week is the photo challenge:
I was inspired by the color of the flowers and the wooden tray and table.
The cluster of flowers on Simon Says "Thankful Flowers" seemed to be a good fit. I stamped them on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and watercolored them with my Daniel Smith watercolors. I decided to fussy cut just around the bottom flower and then carefully cut to the edges with a craft knife. That allowed me to layer the woodgrain paper beneath the flowers.
I added a narrow strip of black cardstock to separate the watercolored flowers from the woodgrain paper.
A sentiment banner from Taylored Expressions "Sentiment Strips" finished it off. I found a bronze metallic envelope from a Simon Says kit which goes well with the card, so the recipient will get a little glitz along with the card.
Take a look at what the Design Team has created at Just Us Girls this week.
