I'm playing along at Muse #279, where the inspiration is provided by the so-very-talented Tracey McNeely. I was inspired by her pretty die cut red flowers, the blue water colored background and the sentiment placement.

| Tracey's Inspiration Card |
I used PTI Orchid Expressions flowers, stamped in various shades of pink and sponged Distress Oxide ink and sprinkled with water to create a background for my flowers.
I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Sprinkles and Splatters, where my splatters are water drops on the sponged Distress Oxide background.
My next card also uses the same flowers, and is inspired by a simplified version of the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #350.
Thanks for Visiting
These are both lovely Joyce!
