Bold Blossom Hugs

Would love to win a gift certificate for Ellen Hutson, so I made a last minute entry for the EH Pin-Sights challenge.  The inspiration is beautiful, but I have very few EH products.  Thankfully I have the Bold Blossom dies which I cut from a scrap of Bristol paper so I could color with my Zigs. 
I picked 3 peach/pink & 3 blue markers & blended with water.  The blooms were spritzed with Perfect Pearls.  I used a couple Zigs to get as close as possible to the goldish color & colored a strip of watercolor paper with them.  I used the same 2 markers to splatter the card front.  SSS Painted Hugs was cut from gray cardstock, stacked 3 high & clear embossed.  I mounted the white panel with fun foam & embellished with PPP clear dots.  I'm also entering SSS Flickr Challenge 81 & The Playground.

Hard to believe we woke up to the tragedy in Las Vegas.  Just when you think things can't get worse, something else happens.  My heart goes out to everyone involved & again we're reminded not to take life for granted.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

    First of all, I love your new photo, Greta. You look so pretty!
    And your card is pretty, too. Beautiful combination of colours and great die cuts.
    I am so sorry for the tragedy in LA. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
    Kisses, my friend.

    Your card is very lovely with the flower die cuts, Greta! Wonderful soft colors! Great touch with the splats of yellow on the background! So sad about the LV tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected...so sad. My sis-in-law and her husband were out there and a former boss. But, they are all ok. And, we are due to go there next month. We have tickets to see Celine Dion. It's just so sad how much evil is in this world. But, we must carry on and trust in the Lord. Take care, hugs!

    Your card has a fresh, modern and classy look; beautiful with the various tone on tone effect. We were shocked to hear of the tragedy in LV. A hideous event with so many lives ruined. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

    The tragedy in Vegas is horrible and so manyvinnocent lifes are taken.
    In what kind of world are we living?

    Almost forgot to comment on your card; I guess this is one of your favorite dies because you use it a LOT. And this time your colours are lovely. Fab card!

    This looks lovely! The modern feel of it so suits the bold colours you chose.
    I just made a card with this die...at my Langley Stampers club. You have reminded me I need to post it.
