I've also chosen to enter this card into two other challenges: PaperPlay's Week# 28: Add Dimension & Pile it On's Challenge # 9: Use at least 3 flowers.
I took inspiration from both the colours and textures in the picture. The weathered green of the table and the wicker... the focal point of the picture ~ and my card ~ are the orange flowers... of course, my dollar store white paper flowers required a watercolour makeover before they'd work - but that was fun!
Papers: unknown from stash; Cuttlebug folder: bloom dots; Sentiment: Technique Tuesday
