Morning Marigold

This gorgeous marigold is from Stampin' Up! I haven't been water colouring for a while, you can tell my highlights aren't very good, I've always had trouble with highlights and painting. If anyone knows of a good website that gives tips on watercolouring please let me know in my comment section. I did this card for three challenges; the first one is Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential. The challenge was to make a birthday card the colour of my birthday. Mines in January so the colour would be garnet which is a deep red. Bravo burgandy comes close but doesn't have the gorgeous hue that a garnet has, but close, lol! The second challenge is on stamptv and is a sketch challenge. The third is One Stop Craft Challenge and that was to make something shine. I took the photo of my card on an angle so you can see the embossing on the background(which is shiny) and the glitter on the marigolds(which is also shiny). Great challenges!
