Flower Forward

Ooh! What a gorgeous set of colours in Fab Friday's latest challenge: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. I used them to stamp, to sponge and to watercolour on this card. Retro Rubber's sketch challenge rrcb#81 provided both the shape and the opportunity to go back to a stamp set I've always struggled to use effectively: Falling Flowers (and the accompanying dies, May Flowers) - from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. The sentiment was also a year old, as it was from last year's sale-a-bration.
The card:




Made using heaps of Stampin' Up products!:
Ink: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party watercolour pencils 
Paper: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, Shimmery White
Stamps: Falling Flowers, Petal Palette, Designer Tee
Dies: Stitched Shapes, May Flowers, Bunch of Banners
Other products: Stazon Black ink, francheville pearls
