It's time for some flowers. Today I challenged myself to move away from my favorite colors (which are plenty) and try to use my least favorite color, which is purple.
I recently purchased this stamp set second hand - it looked so whimsical and I today I am using it for the first time. I think the whimsy takes away the serious edge of purple. (Anyway, that's how I feel about purple.) Here I am still toying with a green stenciled background. Which I then ditched for a simple grey-beige one, the flowers are busy, the background dows not need to be.

Your purple, whimsical flowers are so pretty and I agree, the subtle background helps those flowers pop! Thanks for inspiring us at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and sharing the love of all things Flowers.

I love the whimsy, Lesley, and love that you toned down the purple with hues of blue, both of which pair beautifully with the green and the muted background! (I love that you challenged yourself this way. For me it would be the color orange!) Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
