Happy JULY! I can’t think of a better way to welcome a big, bold month than with a big bold flower!

I decided to pay homage to our freedom celebration by choosing a red(ish) color to create the hollyhocks– this is sweet sorbet. (I had a very inky ink pad and so it seems a bit darker than perhaps it should be, but I liked it so we went with it!) Sprinkled the center with daffodil delight.

I feel like, if you use your imagination you can imagine these as fireworks exploding open. I also think the hollyhock could easily be transformed into a hibiscus… that would be fun….

I hope you’re having a wonderful summer, and that you have a moment to reflect on all the freedoms we enjoy in our country. We live in a special place.

Head on over to see what Anne and Cheryl have for you today!
