Hi! Today I'm joining along with the PTI Make it Monday challenge where the challenge is to create a color wheel card. Here's my interpretation:

I created a floral color wheel featuring pretty flowers from the PTI Floral Sketches stamp set:

For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:

Up next is an oil painted field of irises on an 8" x 8" canvas:

I'm linking my painting up with the Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
