pink vinca

A pretty little vinca bloom from my mom's yard~


The colors are just so pretty and work so well together. So much so that I was finally motivated to figure out how to use the coffeeshop blog colorbar templates and this is the result. How fun is that?!


I used three of Kim Klassen's textures on this one.


I even remembered to save my recipe this time so here are the details~


The day I took the flower pic was a special day. It was my mom's 69th birthday so of course I took some photos of her too. I thought she looked so pretty in her pink.

    That's so pretty Deb with the 3 textures. I especially like the little bit of scripted texture seeping through the petals.

    Please let your mum know that she looks wonderful for 69.

    Vinca is very pretty, I like what you did, I haven't tried to learn the color bar yet, but that looks so cool. I'm new, how do you save the recipe image? Your mother is beautiful, pink is her color and the photo is very nicely done.
