growing...O4J

Thanks very much for this challenge...I have lots of 'dead images' in various states of color on the floor. So in that regard, I learned I need more practice on the smaller scale images (ie TK's). Gotta check out those tips...

Watercoloring is my favorite way to color. The hydrangea was stamped on cold press paper with VersaFine Olympic green. I used CHF ribbon and lace backgrounder stamped with Adirondack Lettuce ink on the celery card base and with Stampin Up soft sky on soft sky paper. The quote is from Mona Lisa expressions: Motivational Centers and the hinge also, (CHF)...love this, there is a dragonfly hinge and well as angel hinge. I chose one of the other ornate hinges...inked it with ColorBox sepia black and embossed with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress powder. I added seam binding at the top which I shredded to add some texture. I forgot to add my butterfly is from the Saturday Evening post collection, Vintage Butterflies.

Lovely Susan! Love that butterfly homing in on the pretty blooms and the hinges make a lovely treatment for the sentiment - great job!
