ARTY GIRLZ 'Blue' & PENNY BLACK SATURDAY 'No Pink!!'

Oooh! I love it when i can combine two challenges in one design! With only 24 hours in a day, that sometimes just isn't enough to fit them all in!!! :) Arty Girlz challenge is to feature 'Blue' in your design, and Penny Black Saturday challenge is 'No Pink'I have used a fabulous Penny Black 'brush flower' image called 'Sunshine' in my design today. Let's hope it encourages the sun to shine as we did not see much of it yesterday!!
I have added colour to the stamp using Adirondack inkpads, and given it a quick spritz with a water mist spray before placing down onto the watercolour paper. This gives a very pleasing effect and is so simple to do! :)

The paper is from a Colorbok book called 'Dena's Closet' which i have had for ages! The sentiment is HOTP and i've also popped on a Making Memories flower from their 5th Avenue collection, along with a Dovecraft gem brad and some ribbon from my stash.

I hope the sun shines on you today! See you soon :)
