Here is my entry for the Papertrey Ink August 2015 Blog Hop Challenge.
The inspiration was full of color and texture:
I saw the pink, orange and yellow stripes, and the copper bowls.
I painted stripes on watercolor paper with ZIG Clean Color Brush Pens and a water brush. Then, I embossed a tree and copper leaves.
Here is a close up of the copper leaves:

Oh, Nancy, I am sure that your “try” would put me to shame! Thanks so much for the kind words!

The watercolor sunset is beautiful – and the copper leaves really accent the look.

Oooh, I didn’t even catch that the bowls were copper! I love the copper leaves. That was a stroke of genius. 🙂 Such a lovely card – like a tree at sunrise.

Thanks so much, Gina! I didn’t notice the copper bowls the first time around (and that didn’t show up on my printed copy of the photo that I post for inspiration).

You are already a Ziggie expert, Kathy! This is sensational and then the copper tree takes it to a whole ‘nother stratosphere!! Enjoy the hop! Hugs, Darnell
