I’ve been really struggling lately with creating. I find it hard to create when you don’t have that “creative mojo” flowing. Plus not sleeping at night doesn’t help that struggle! I know there's a lot of creative insomniacs out there!!! LOL!
I wanted to use watercolor paint and the paper I chose initially just wasn’t havin’ it! So after scrapping the first piece, I grabbed my water colour paper and created something else to colour! Hooray!
Here is my final card… simple and sweet! I googled "Sunflowers" and I just love there are so many cool varieties out there... bright yellow, oranges and even pinky toned ones too!
This card has a little secret… it’s been FOILED!
A great way to add some sparkle to those fabulous digital images if you print them on a laser printer. And yes.... my 140# water colour paper fit through my printer!
I hope you take a gander at what the Instant Gardners AND the Bloom Brigade have created for your lovely eyes to gawk at today! Happy hopping…
