Amaryllis in Blue

Hi There:

One last card for the weekend and possibly for a few days. I have a couple of crafty dates early in the week so I'll probably not get much posted.

When I get ready to color flowers I haven't colored or have seen in real life I check google images. I was surprised to find a blue amaryllis.  Since I am not quite ready for the Christmas cards yet, I jumped at coloring this WPlus9 Amaryllis stamp in blue.



This had to be a one layer card for Less is More Challenge 380.   I stamped and embossed the flower on a folded piece of bristol not quiet square.  I used Arteza markes and a water brush to color the flowers.  Afterwards, I hand drew a frame around the blooms attaching it to the sentiment under the flower.  It kinda reminds me of an art print.


Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Beautiful in blue, Cat ... love how you did the sentiment! Spookily, I recently did one in a similar way ... you'll spot it (and probably smile) when you see it next month! Hugs, Anita :)
