I’m the first to admit: I’m not big into flowery/lacey/extra girly designs. If I do pink, it is often with black. So when I saw the next challenge was flowers, my heart sank a bit. I had just stamped…I didn’t want to stamp again! So instead I went with freehanding some art…& I kind of love it.

Now, it didn’t say it had to be girly so I went a bit dark & abstract. I love the effect. The bottom corner has some black, then the deep, red based purple, & the holo around the edges of the petals. What do you think? Are you loving it or do you prefer something a bit more feminine?
