Marigold

 Hello All,

Welcome to another challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge. Today's color challenge is a bit more... well... challenging. It is because no other neutrals are allowed. You can use white and gold. Either way, I had fun with the color challenge! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I have had this marigold stamp for years and never used it until now. The rich oranges really spawned the need for a fall flower. I thought this marigold from Stamplorations was perfect!

A delicate frame of necterine and white surround the flower so nicely.
The leaf outline diecut was added for a bit of the avocado color.

I stamped the flower on HA black watercolor paper and heat embossed. I painted the flower using Gouache watercolor paint. They are very pigmented and perfect for dark color backgrounds.

Well, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy day to visit my corner of the internet. I do hope you will join us at Color My Heart Color Dare and play along. 

Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and stay healthy. Until then take care and we will see you soon!
