Dawn's Coleus

Dawn McVey has given us a new color challenge over on Instagram, based on the colors in her favorite coleus plant.

Here's my interpretation.


supplies: white, Doll Pink, Orange Peel, lime, and burgundy cardstock, The Greetery Botanicuts Sunflower dies, sentiment from Simon Woodland Whimsy, Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die

You can see Dawn's photo HERE on Instagram.  She identified the colors as bright pink, bright orange, deep burgundy, and lime green.  I pulled the colors and shuffled them for each flower, and put burgundy veining in the leaves.  I think they turned out nice - shouldn't be surprised, as the inspiration comes from nature!

Thanks for stopping by - tomorrow would have been my Dad's 100th birthday, and he certainly was one of a kind, so Daddy, this is for you!!
