Let’s Bloom with Hope

Greetings!

First of all, I would like to thank all of my followers for putting up with my blog problems. For the last few months, I have been battling phantom email notification gremlins. Sometimes the emails would go out, sometimes they wouldn’t and sometimes they went out multiple times. My blog host tech support couldn’t see any problems and kept referring me to other sources. But, after much hair pulling and research, the problem has now been resolved! Woohoo! So, I just wanted to thank you for your patience!

My card today is going to be submitted to the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge this week. The colors feel so summery that I went with the flowers in Bloom with Hope. I used my new Blendies in Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive, using only the lightest shade, and the two lighter shades of Night of Navy. What do you think? I was trying to keep the flowers on the light side so I just added a little Daffodil Delight, using little brush strokes on all except the little flower buds. I love how the center of flowers turned out when I colored them with the medium shade around the edge then colored the center with the lightest shade. The Daffodil Delight DSP from All Abloom was perfect to add to the summery feel I was going for.
