This is the closest to a true CAS card that I will ever come in my lifetime, and right now I am dying to add STUFF to it. First, I will explain why this is my card for the HYCCT1410 "something missing" challenge. For me, what's missing is all the stuff that I usually add to a card....I really have a bow that matches this so nicely. The TLC503 was to use an eraser. The centers of the flowers are made by bouncing a tiny mechanical pencil eraser with mustard and honey inks over the flower centers. I didn't have an outline flower stamp with a large center, so I had to draw the entire image. When I end up drawing the image I make a copy before I color it so I can use it another time. The outline is paper pierced for the CAS 294. Now that the gallery for the MMTPT324 is open I can add that since I copied the black and white drawing, I colored another card to send to Helen who is an incredible lady who is turning 100. She loves flowers and I am so happy to be able to send her these bright yellow flowers to wish her a special birthday. TFL Francie

Wow, you drew those flowers? Great job! Also love the polka dot background and piercing. Even thought you feel that you want to add more, it's just lovely the way it is.

Wow!! hand drawn?? I'm bowing down to you as royalty. The piercing is a nice touch to make up for your "need" for added embellys. I love it just the way it is.

How wonderful to be able to create your own images! I love these bold glorious blooms! Your colouring is beautiful. I am happy you were able to resist further embellishment because this card is perfect the way it is!

Ok, so this went in my faves before I read the description but now I am in awe. You drew this? Wow! Gorgeous coloring. I love the flower centers made with an eraser. The bits of white accents are wonderfully placed. Terrific card!
