More fabulous flowers! I never tire of them. This set is called Great Flowers and I water colored this one. It was simple and quick and I love how it turned out. I have been wanting to use more colored card bases and it worked marvelously with the water coloring.
The last time I colored lilies, I think I colored them like Stargazers. They are my favorite for their delicious smell. The shapes in this set called Flower Blocks are fun. I just played with different layers and picked up the hot pink in the lily. What might be hard to see here is the Stickles I applied to the petals. Fun stuff, I tell you!
Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to come on back tomorrow for more creativity! Off you go to Janine's blog now.

Beautiful job on both cards, Toni; but I think that lily is my favorite. I like all the white space around the hot pink/black. And congrats to your little runner!
