Purple top fold card with white die-cut and another matching in purple. Printed my image and used watercolor pencils and a blending pen to color. Chalked the BG and sprayed it with matt spray to set chalk. Not my best effort getting dark and light tones but I want to keep trying different mediums. Die-cut the image and placed it over the purple layer. Added a lavender ribbon and bow. Stamping inside at a later date.

Beautiful card, Betty. The fancy triple framing sets off your floral arrangement so wonderfully. The coloring of those flowers/foliage is so expertly done.

This is so lovely. Love the purples and the way they really pop off the screen. That matting frame die is gorgeous and looks fabulous with those beautiful flowers. You always say "not my best coloring" and everything always looks great. This looks great. Wonderful card.

I think your coloring looks really good and I like the pale yellow hue around it too. Did you do that with the colored pencils as well? It is a great touch!

Beautiful card! Love the colors and the way you matted it. The chalk is a lovely medium to use on this image. Good for you trying a variety of things. Well done!
