Springtime Flowers

I love this image from Saturated Canary.  When I pulled her to make this project, I decided to try something a little different and stick to more muted shades when coloring her.  I really like the effect I got!  I'm entering this card in a couple of challenges:

Simon Says Stamp and Show your favorite stamp
Studio L3 - Compendium of Curiosities II challenge 5 - shattered stains

You can find the technique I used on the flowers here on page 48 of Tim Holtz's new book "Compendium of Curiosities II."
