Howdy stampers!Good news! There is no need for clicking anywhere to find the NBUS Challenge linky tool now. My friend Loll told me that all I have to do is copy and paste the tool at the end of each post! Et walla! Thank you, Lolly!
The only thing is, I'm not sure if that makes it harder to comment. I trust you to let me know if this new way is actually incornvenient for you. If it is, I'll go back to doing it the other way. I'm learning as I go, I'm learning as I go, high ho the dairy oh, I'm learning as I go. Sorry. It's the meds.
Okay, settle down. Today's inspiration is all about springtime flowers!
Here's a closeup of the scrummy WOS sparkle!
Using my Gansai Tambi paints, I watercolored the Verve flowers from the "Great Friend" set after heat embossing them in white. The beautiful NBUS white-embossed stems are from the "Beauty Stems From Here" set by Inkadinkado. The NBUS sediment is from the Altenew "Painted Flowers" set.
I also did one in shades of blue with a gerischmick of purple.
I need a lot more practice with watercoloring flowers on this linen paper. It isn't as easy to paint on as watercolor paper. I kept going back to try and get it "just so" and I ended up overworking it. It happens. Hi ho, hi ho ...

I'll leave you with some for-reals spring blooms ~ especially for those of you upon whom fresh snow has fallen!
This little beauty popped up in an old vegetable box all by herself. You can see the purple harden bergia in bloom in the background.
