Great sketch challenge today. I colored my flowers almost like Karen Barber. She calls it the marker layering technique: CC336 - VINTAGE HUES by Karen B Barber at Splitcoaststampers
I only have a few markers so I had to use ink pads and a blender pen so my flowers aren't as bright as Karens. I still loved coloring this way, so thank you Karen! After coloring, I used my gel pen then sponged in pirouette. Oh, and Karen said to outline the image using sahara sand, which I did. (not sure it can be seen in photo, but looks nice irl) This image is popped up. I added dp and pirouette ribbon plus 3 faux pearls. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Roberta, the soft pinks and greens are beautiful and you've colored beautifully too - the outlining in Sahara Sand gives it that bit of dimension! Love your trio of pearls as an embellishment too!

Roberta, what a beautiful card in the soft shades of spring. Your card has such a clean and fresh look.....even a CAS quality although I know there are lots of layers.

Well, I think you should edit this post "almost like Karen Barber" ... huh? How about JUST like Karen Barber!!!! I think you nailed the colouring, truly. What a wonderful card. Karen will be very proud of her protege!
