Etched flowers!

Part of this months Hero Arts challenge is to follow this colour palette,  not my usual colours as I tend to use pinks, oranges and reds but it is a challenge after all!!

I am not sure I really like the finished card but I though perhaps it would do as a sympathy card as the colours are so muted, although it does actually look a lot brighter in real life.

For the background I have used my favorite emboss resist technique and then stamped the etched flower with distress inks, I have then water coloured the image for a little more definition.

At last I am beginning to feel better after my bug, thank you for all the good wishes they are really appreciated, I am looking forward to the weekend now.
