I am elated to be able to return to today's CC as a guest designer. Thank you Mary for this special invite.
Today, Karen, has provided a color palette that lends beautifully to coloring this ADFD's geisha image. We were to bring to the challenge Bermuda bay, tangerine tango and daffodil delight. I'm not necessarily an SU kinda girl, so I've attempted to come as close to these colors as I could using both pencils and watercolor. Our dessert option was to use at least 5 layers. Can't check that off because I could figure out 4 layers but not the five.
I love Asian and I love this image. I think I've found my favorite stamp company ... A Day for Daisies it is for me.
Hope you enjoy Karen's colors as much as I have. They're stunning together.
