Just Us Girls #606 - Color Week

It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and the colors our host Lisa has chosen are


You know those colors said flowers to me, right?  Here's what I did.


The image is one I stamped a long time ago when I had a crafting day with Michele.  I had to call her to find out that it's from Penny Black.  It's colored with Zigs and looked great when things went downhill.  I got a little heavy handed with the black splatters.  I tried to compensate with some white ones but the gouache must have been too watered down and faded right into the Bristol when they dried.  By then I had already attached the heat embossed sentiment so there was no do-over.  

Enough of my sad story.  What will you do with these colors for our challenge?  I do hope to see your card in our gallery.  For inspiration please check out what the Design Team and our guest Nora Noll have made.

Bobby... I think you are wrong. The splatters are perfect. They add a bit of drama to the card. The flowers are beautifully colored... and you can see the counter balancing white. I think the card is fantastic!

You know I am a splatter fan and I love those black ones - not too many at all. Swooning over how beautiful those flowers are in this weeks colours. When I saw the stamp my first thought was a PB one. They have amazing floral stamps.

These colors said flowers to me too! I think your card is gorgeous! If I hadn't read about your "mistakes" as you describe, I never would have seen them. Still don't! Love it!

What a gorgeous floral card, Bobby! I love the splatters, I don't think you were too heavy handed at all, they give your card a nice artsy look.
