Fragrant Bouquet - Curtain Call Challenge

Hello, friends! I wasn't able to post last week when the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge, Bouquet, was unveiled. But I'm here today with a reminder that it's not too late to join the challenge! The deadline to enter is April 25 at 8 am CST.

We have a new sponsor, Penny Black, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Bouquet! A randomly selected participant in the Bouquet challenge will have their choice of a Penny Black gift certificate, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

Penny Black generously gave the Curtain Call designers an image of their choice to work with for this challenge. It took me about half a second to pick Fragrant #40-384. 

Isn't it gorgeous? Not to mention perfect for the challenge?

I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I may have been a tad bit totally intimidated before sitting down to color this, but it ended up coming together very quickly! Now don't look too closely, as there are all sorts of mistakes, but the beauty of watercolor is that it is so very forgiving!

This Fragrant image is a nice, large size, so once you've colored it, there's not a whole lot of room for layers and embellishments (at least not on an A2 card). I trimmed my panel down slightly, matted onto some patterned paper, and then just added a wood veneer sentiment and a sweet linen thread bow.
