Oh, geez, I had a computer hiccup and didn't realize I lost my description and all the other info. I wrote practically a book too, because this is my first project with the Chameleon pens I won during HYCCT.
Coloring with the Chameleons is a definite learning curve for me, since I'm not a very accomplished colorist to begin with. But you can do phenomenal ombre effects with them, they are nice and juicy and blend beautifully. Since the colors I have are mainly on the bright side, I did use Spectrum Noir pens to tone it down and then re emphasized the stamping with a very sharp colored pencil. I'm sure with more practice I'll feel more at ease using them. They have a lot of helpful videos on their website, too.
Oh, I guess I should say that this image was printed from my computer on high quality printer paper. After coloring, it was fussy cut and the stem tucked behind the frame. I attached the frame to the card base and eased foam tape behind the flower for dimension. I added black Wink of Stella to the spots on the lily.
I think that's basically it. As always, thanks for looking!

Yikes, 4 cards at once! and every one a beauty!! This flower just bursting out of the frame is a fantastic example of your coloring - you don't fill in about what markers, dies, and embossing folders you use, and my tongue is left hanging. What an artistic masterpiece!!
