I'm loving these bright colors. Spring is so close!
And here's a close up --
Card Construction Details:
1. Stamped flowers from a Penny Black set called To You on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink.
2. Colored the center layer of 3 flowers and cut. Each flower was colored as follows: pale pink, magenta and red Prismacolor Pencils, blended with a Colorless Copic marker. Added yellow Copic marker to edges and center of flower.
3. Colored the bottom layer and the flowers on the edge of the panel.
4. Colored the background with yellow and 3 shades of green Prismacolor Pencils and blended with a colorless Copic marker.
5. Adhered the 3 top layers to the flowers, adhered the black embellishments.
6. Created a banner with the Silhouette, colored and stamped sentiment.
7. Layered on black and then onto an A Muse Sage card.
MOOD WHEN DONE = flowery
I like the colour mix in the flowers, very bright and happy.
If you are looking for warm weather, come visit here, where another hot muggy day awaits us.
Smiles.

((gasp))...what gorgeous flowers, Joan! I just love your coloring. So glad you told us they were popped up a bit, because I thought you achieved that look solely from shading!!!!

These are absolutely gorgeous. I'm guessing you find coloring relaxing, because this must have taken you forever. Really worth it, however, and some lucky person is going to receive a masterpiece.

Brilliant colours Joan ~~ your shading and pop-up effects have totally brought this card to life. Guess since you have that new pencil sharpener you'll have all your colours ready for action :) TFS!!

Wait, what???? You can blend PENCILS with a COPIC blender? No way?? Tell me more, please??
Gorgeous card, BTW. I love the bold colors and the green "background" color between the flowers.
