Altenew May Inspiration Challenge

 I recently signed up for an Altenew Dreamy Watercolor class that is being taught by Sarah Simon - The Mint Gardener.  A collaboration between The Mint Gardener and Altenew resulted in this beautiful stamp set - Garden Bouquet.  Right now this stamp set is only available with the purchase of the class found HERE.  The main image in the set is large and covers an entire 5x7 panel.  

I stamped the image in Obsidian ink and heat set with clear embossing powder.  I watercolored the image.  I let it dry and came back and added more color.  Let it dry and then added metallic watercolor to the leaves and flowers.  I used the Fine Tulle stencil with buttercream to add a little dimension to the background.  I finished by adding gold splatters from the Metallic watercolor set and Jet black splatters from the 36 pan watercolor set. 

This card is my entry into Altenew's May Inspiration Challege.  I took my inspiration from both the image and the colors.  In the image the tulips have pink and oranges so I gave my flowers multiple colors. My large florals are similar to the inspiration colors - as close as I could get using the watercolors.  I am really pleased with how this card turned out.

How do you think I did?
