I think this turned out lovely..no outside the lines (or box..lol) coloring here (and I am wearing my glasses). I like the colors you used and that rich purple in the middle.

Yup, I had outside the box coloring today as well ~ very hard to see what I was doing! That said, I think this looks wonderful. I love that great image and it looks fabulous stamped on the textured paper.

I don't know why PSX had to go out of business!! I love the botanical line of stamps. I also love your coloring here and it looks pretty 'in the box' to me! I just thought of a way to do this next time.... I'll lightly stamp, then color, use the stamp positioned & then white emboss!! That's probably cheating but at least the white would show. I love your textured paper too. Pretty colors.

Not only is the stamp gorgeous, I love the way you did this on textured(?) paper! Those old PSX were the best, weren't they? Love how soft this looks agains the rich, purple panel! Beautiful card, Carol!

Hurrah - you found a lovely image to use, Carol. Like Linda, I think the texture from the paper you used is fantastic - it's a bit like a watercolour painting on canvas! Yep, I know the time I did this for VSN when I was racing against the clock and it was night, it certainly exercised my eyes!
