Forcing the Flowers (on myself)

Hi everyone!  I decided to challenge myself once again using flowers.  (Eek!)  Actually, this time went quite a bit more smoothly than the last.   I’m still not comfortable using them, but I will conquer!  🙂

Hello

This sweet image is called Picnic of Daisies from Stampavie.  (You can find it and others at All That Scraps.)  Coloring the more realistic images such as this (as opposed to a cutesy character type) are somewhat intimidating to me but I really enjoy the “challenge.”  I used Copic markers on the image as well as the Prima flowers and brads.

I felt the pinkish panel was a bit plain so I created a crossover pattern using a Fine Lines backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Tuesday!  🙂
