Brown and Pink

Hi everyone.  Today's card is for The Flower Challenge #48 - Brown & Pink.  I love this colour combination!


The challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Digital Stamps and I have several of their really fun images.  I printed off these sweet heart-shaped flowers in a pot (Flower pot #4) and watercoloured with distress inks.  I added a frame (Simple Stackers 51-613) and a sweet little sentiment (Happy Messages).

To finish, I sponged brown ink around the outside of the frame and added some clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and ribbon.  You can see the shimmer in the close-up photo below.

Close-up ...

This is adorable, Loll! I'm a Bugaboo fan; can't help myself. Pretty little pot of heart blooms. It looks great with your watercoloring and that cute sentiment in matching ink.

I love the sketchy look of this cute image, the sparkle on the flowering hearts and the bow is divine.
The frame just compliments this sweet flower pot beautifully.
