PP772 Color Challenge from Ann

Hello everyone!  Time for a new Paper Players challenge, and Ann has given us some colors of spring to chase away those winter doldrums:

 

Believe it or not, I don't have a lot of floral images and that's what these colors brought to mind.  I decided on this image from Rustic Centerpiece, which was an Online Exclusive and sadly, seems to be retired:


This was pretty simple to create; the image was stamped in Black Stazon, then watercolored with an aquapainter and the challenge color inks:


The sentiment from Unbounded Love was stamped in Lost Lagoon and embellished with some pearls, then the whole panel went on a Lost Lagoon card base. I left the inside blank so I can use it for whatever occasion arises!

I hope you'll find some inspiration over at the Paper Players blog by seeing what the designers created, then putting these colors on a project of your own!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

This is a beauty, LeAnne! I love that stamp set and I think they're retiring things far too quickly nowadays, it's blink-and-you-miss-it. Anyway, this stamp is the perfect choice for the challenge colors and you painted the image beautifully.
