This is for today's color challenge, to use regal rose, old olive, and peach parfait.
I had fun coloring this beautiful Flourishes image with colored pencils, odorless mineral spirits, and a paper blending stump! It is framed with a regal rose panel punched with the MS topiary PATP punch set. I love how that gives me the cool look of a die cut! And that is matted over a diamond cut from vintage book pages. I made my own paper flowers from scalloped circles punched from the vintage page scraps and then sprayed them with Smooch Spritz, a new purchase yesterday. I'm still trying to get the hang of using it. It's harder to aim than I thought it would be!
This card is likely to be a birthday card, although I left the inside blank until I decide for sure.
