DCM: paint the town

Today's dare on DCM is to 'paint the town' - 'red, green, sky blue pink with yellow dots on, or any colour you fancy, with acrylics, H2Os or watercolours, with brushes, sponges or splatters. We don't mind, as long as you use paint on your cards. So have some fun with the DCM and get Painty this week.'

So I got out a couple of chipboard flowers that I had in a BF kit and painted them with Adirondack acrylic dabbers, purple twilight and watermelon. I stamped on to the petals psrts and then coated everything with Glossy accents.

I've been waiting for them to dry (too often I've tried to work with glossy accents that haven't dried!).

Having decorated the flowers I was uncertain what to do with them, but thought that they were so strong in colour that nothing else needed to be added to the card except the Best Wishes.



Looking at how bright it is, I think it also qualifies for last week's dare!!
