INKers Challenge #1 - February

Hi INKers!  This is Linda, your challenge hostess for February.
We have been having an awesome February so far in Northern California!  So sorry to rub it in for those of you in the East or Midwest or anywhere else in the throes of winter!  But usually we are having cold and rainy weather this time of year so having this warm, sunny weather right now is so nice.  Our trees are flowering, the daffodils and paperwhites are blooming and the camellia bush outside my front door has the most gorgeous bright pink flowers.  
For our first challenge, I will start simple: Create a project using the color(s) of your favorite flower.  Oh, and by the way, no flowers can appear on your project.  When you post your project, tell us what your favorite flower is and why it’s your favorite.
It’s as simple as that.  Use the color any way you want - paper, ink, coloring, etc. 

Have fun!!

  1. Linda,
    I like our challenge, great job. My favorite flower is starting to bust through the ground here in Portland. I am giddy with excitement. It's the simple things that matter, right?

  5. Happy to hear your daughter is home Margaret, but sorry she's sick. I hope she bounces back quickly and you are able to fight off getting the bug. There is no rush on the challenge, remember this is meant to be fun and not an added stress.
    Take care of yourself,
    Mel
