We are planning a vacation in Tahiti, and I looked up Tahitian Hibiscus hybrids so that I could color the Spirit of Hibiscus (by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff) for part of the cover of an upcoming album I plan to do for our Paul Gauguin Cruise The hibiscus are the Tahitian Lion and the Tahitian Solar Flare (or Tahitian Sunrise). These are colored in Prismacolor pencils, finished with Marigold liquid pearls, and finished in Photoshop. Font is Jellyka Delicious Cake. This is just a start, but a fun one---what a gorgeous graphic. Thank you Mitzi. It is fun to participate in the Blog Challenges at Aurora Wings.
Here it is as a finished card. The border scallops are Spellbinders Borderabilitiy S5-180, and the ribbons are double bow gold cord, some yellow petals a Hello Honey flat bow, and amber rhinestones adhered to Tangelo Twist paper I finished the bakground of the graphic with pale Copic stippling.
Oh, what a great cover for an album of a cruise in Tahiti! Love your coloring of these tropial hibiscus, Priss!! Beautiful. <3
