i had such fun coloring this perky Bella image for my shopaholic friend's birthday card. I like using patterned paper because it makes it easy to choose my color palette. These bright cheery flowers were easy to match. I still love using patterned paper to add movement and color to my cards.

I use that same method myself when picking the colors for the image. I love this cute card.

Beautiful colouring and such pretty papers too. I know what you meant about the paper helping dictate the colours, but since I don't use paper much, I'm usually left rummaging to find paper that will match after I've coloured - not the right way to go about it!

I love how you cued off the dp to develop the color pallet for your image - with all those shopping bags it was easy to incorporate that myriad of colors!
