The image is from Power Poppy's Countryside Bouquet Delux and it's stamped onto a new water color paper I'm trying, this is a bit lighter and whiter, from Strathmore and it's the 90lb. pad. I liked it a lot, the image was stamped with Versafine Onix Black ink and it was perfect. At first the colors I chose didn't seem to go together at all, I mean Night of Navy and Tangerine Tango???!! for the flowers but the good thing is that, once you apply the water they change a little and I was able to shade this pretty blooms and give them detail with the fine tip of the marker.
I didn't want to color those little flowers on the top with the same colors so I combined them to create a new one, here is a picture of them, they really look pretty.
I applied the Night of Navy at the base, mixed a bit of Wild Wasabi and then, just a touch of the Tangerine Tango on the top, when I applied my aqua painter, they blended really nicely.
I finished the card by cutting a couple of slots next to the base of the bouquet and using a tapestry needle, I wrapped a piece of linen thread around, I could have just colored this but I didn't want to do it with neither of this colors so I thought the thread would look better.
The ribbon is from my bottomless stash, the pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley.
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.
I inked up the sentiment and the flower with the markers I chose.
Here is the banner that inspired my card.
I hope you give this fun challenge a try, like I said, if you don't have any Power Poppy stamps, this is your chance to win one, believe me, you will fall in love with them, they are gorgeous.
Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

So pretty ! A winner for sure !! Love the details that you described on how you created this lovely picture .
Whoa really! Winner winner Chicken Dinner! You can trust that you'll make something beautiful by blindly selecting three colors every time! Pinning!
Thank you Sonny, this is the first time I ink up this stamp, such beautiful flowers. And, as long as you use only the colors you picked, you can actually create other colors by combining them, am I clever or what?! LOL!!
Patti, this challenge is just so much fun, I think the fact that you have to pick only 3 colors is what's making it so appealing to me. And, since you can enter as many cards as you want, heck!! I'm going all out!!!

I adore the powerful pop of orange, Maria!
Thank you Mary, at first I didn't think this colors would go very well together but in the end, I'm very happy with this card.
Beautiful flowers, Maria! As always, your shading is perfect!

Hi Maria, I love your card, I have yet to try just three separate colours and no way I will be picking randomly. Your colouring is just stunning.

Thank you Aileen, just give it a try, I recommend that you pick the markers first and then your stamps, that way you know which one will be better for your colors.
