Spring Flowers

I hope you're enjoying your weekend.  Our weather hasn't been very nice here ... rain, rain and more rain.  But all that rain will eventually bring some lovely spring flowers, right? 

Speaking of spring flowers, I picked up this cute little Flower Pot 1 over at Bugaboo Stamps.  This image is so easy to color and I thought it would be perfect for those little cards you sometimes need to put together quickly.  I used copics and colored pencils to color the image.  I added some Creative Inspirations Paint to the flower petals and centers.  I used Blush and Tutu Pink on the petals, and Sunshine on the centers.  These paints add such a pretty pearlescent shimmer to the flowers but unfortunately I can't seem to capture that with my camera.  I paper-pieced the flower pot and then added some shading to it.  We also have a new challenge for you over on the Creative Inspirations Blog.  Our theme this week is Spring and I hope you can join us.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita
