At the first of the month I used purple and green here so this time I went with more peachy/orange colors.
I started by coloring the flowers with Copic markers and the leaves with Olo markers. I was trying to achieve a peachy color for the flowers but in the end it appears to lean more toward orange, and I was fine with that. After die cutting, I used a black glaze pen to color in the stamen.
For the background I used the SSS Whirl Diamond Plate in white on a piece of Spellbinders Bellini cardstock, which I though complimented the color of the flowers without competing with it. I placed the floral image up a little higher on the panel than I wanted, so I found a large die cut hello that helped balance things out. Black enamel dots finished things off.
Can you believe it's mid-April already? Time flies, that's for sure, but if you haven't joined us yet this month, or you have another floral with spring colors, there's still time to share. The challenge will be open until Friday, April 25th. Please take a moment to visit the challenge blog, my amazing teammates have some more inspiration for you.
Thanks for visiting and take care!

I'm fine with that orange color you achieved too, Stef! It looks pretty on your fancy peach and white background
Such petty orange blooms you colored beautifully. They look great on your pretty white die cut and Bellini card stock. Beautiful Spring card.
Gorgeous card Stef! I love the deep orange color even if that was not intentional. Love the diamond plate as well. What are your thoughts on Olo Markers? My Copics are drying out and I am not much into refilling them.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Stef! Your orange blooms are so pretty and really stand out on this card! I'm loving the background die you used too...sooooooo eye catching!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
That diamond plate looks so fancy, Stef, and what a great background for your beautiful orange flowers.
The blooms are beautiful as is that stunning diamond plate a match made in heaven.
