Papertrey November Blog Hop Challenge


Bright & bold watercolored blooms replace the ornaments from the lively inspiration photograph for the November Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.




I stamped the flowers from my all time favorite Papertrey Ink set, In Bloom in pink and blue, and the leaves in a bright green and then used my Zig Markers with water to color them in. I added some splatters in each of the colors, along with gold. The sentiment is from an older PTI anniversary set and then I finished the card with a black and gold strip to ground the card.
