The SCS color challenge for today is Crushed Curry, Eggplant Envy and Garden Green. I cased this card by Kelly Latevola. I used the sunflower from Stamplorations and colored the stamps with markers in the challenge colors (the leaves are from a PTI set) and stamped them on watercolor paper masking them as I went along. I then used the watercoloring with markers technique to color the flowers in. I added highlights with a white gel pen for some depth and texture. I cut the panel around the top of the flowers and leaves and set it aside. I used a V99 Copic marker to color the top half of the card front, then layered the watercolored panel on top. The sentiment is also from Stamplorations.
I am submitting this to the monthly Stamplorations challenge: Stamps and Markers:
Nothing like waiting for the last minute!

Awesome job on those sunflowers, Harriet! They look like oil paintings -- I love it! Oh and you can also link this up to our never-ending Anything Goes challenge (link is on the blog -- one of the tabs) since you used STAMPlorations stamps! Happy to have your beautiful card in the gallery!
