Today's color challenge is Real Red, Night of Navy and Marina Mist.
I used the Power Poppy Foxglove image, adding some sparkle glaze pen to the flowers. The smudging actually started out as an accident, but then I liked it and added more color to smudge more...hope you like it too.

Love this image and your coloring is beautiful! The smudging is a great effect - if you hadn't said anything, we all would have thought it was just a cool technique LOL!!

SHHHHH....if you didn't tell, I would have thought that you had created a new technique for spiffing up bgs, Vicky. : ) Your card is LOVELY and the coloring of the foxglove is magnificent. Love the bees tucked here and there in the design.
