GKD Lean on Me Preview Blog Hop~

This sample was inspired by a sarong that we bought my niece while we were on vacation. The card, matching sarong and a little cash is headed to Ohio where she remained over the summer working at the college she attends. She's a Cali-girl at heart and we knew she would love the sarong....it may not be practical for Ohio but it will be a reminder of warmer temps of home come winter!

Ink: Vivid! Aqua, Lemon Ice, Wild Lime ; Versamark
Paper: Pure Luxury Ocean Mist, White, Blue

This flower image (flower and stem are separate images) reminds me of agapanthus flowers. I'm not sure if that's what they are intended to be but that is what I made them into ☺.
I used to have a number of agapanthus planted in both the front and back yard here and now they reside in just the front yard. For some odd reason or another Riley likes to eat them, flowers, leaves and all, so since she hangs out in the backyard we had to take them out. Weird dog.
