Playing with the new LDRS Creative Spring Release. The Breezy Blossoms Impress-ion Press and Foil Plates is a really beautiful floral bouquet that seems perfect for watercoloring.

YNS Challenge #160: Cool Inspiration

YNS Challenge #160: Cool Inspiration

This time the challenge over at Your Next Stamp includes a photo to inspire you. This challenge with its pretty pinks and greys are perfect for this card design that has been on my list to create since I first saw the slim geometric panel. In addition to the colour inspiration from this challenge the style is very much inspired by the awesome work of Leslie Tieu. She creates the most wonderful patterns and florals incased in beautifully watercolored geometric shapes. If you have a chance you should check her work out.
