January- Corcus Flower

Happy Monday everyone-
I've had a very good day today.  The weather permitted for a scroll by the harbor with the boys.
I even had time to get crafty!!
I LOVE how the colors of this card.  The image is from Flourishes: A Year in Flower 1.
I used a color challenge and a sketch challenge for this beauty.
I have SO MANY stamps that I have not inked up, because I have become to so comfortable with reaching for my digital images.  So what I have done is, randomly picked a few sets from my box and I have to create something with them within the month.  If I don't, then I have to either sell them or give them away.
Sounds fair right?!  We will see how that works out.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Thank you for stopping by today. 
See you again tomorrow for a SweetStamps challenge.

Hugs,
Calypso

    This is beautiful Calypso. Such great coloring! Good idea, I rarely use a lot of stamps anymore either, should do something like you are doing. Glad you had nice weather and got out with the boys!

    Lovely job here! You've colored the flowers in so beautifully. That twine ribbon is just the perfect touch to tie it all together perfectly.
