Fiery Florets

I am always drawn to blues and greens but every so often I pull out some warmer colours and challenge myself to use them - in this case Poppy Parade, Tangerine Tango and Peach Parfait. I have some cards using this set Fabulous Florets in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine this month (yay!). For those, they requested a nautical colour palate. This card here is more 'fire' than water! I rock 'n' rolled the flowers in Peach Parfait, then Tangerine Tango, then Poppy Parade ink. I have balanced out all that 'heat' with a large amount of white space.
And then, after all that I looked at this card and thought...it would look pretty in blue!
