Really felt like freestyle doodling today so I channeled my *Inner Elsie* --
Used a total of NINE companies on this card:
SU! - Basic Black cardstock, Big Blossom BG, Little Pieces, Seeing Spots, Marigold Morning classic ink
SAKURA - Souffle' pens (6 different colors)
PSX - Diamond Sparkles (glitter glue)
JUDIKINS - Diamond Glaze
CREATIVE MEMORIES - Circle punch
FISKARS - Straight scissors
SANDY LION - Atomic Turquoise (patter paper) by Kelly Panacci
XYRON (to adhere Big Blossom)
ZOTS - Glue Dots (to adhere "Thank You" piece)
It's kind of hard to see, but I put dots of the Diamond Sparkles on each of the green Souffle' dots and in the centers of the blue Souffle' flowers, as well as on each of the pink Souffle' circles outlining the Big Blossom. Also, this is my first time using the Diamond Glaze and I can see that I need to practice more to make a smoother embellishment.

Thanks, everyone, for your wonderfully kind comments about this card! I have been a "doodler" since childhood, but rarely use it in my scrapbook LOs and haven't used it on cards before now.
Making this card really stirred some creative juices flowing and I think I would like to try making a series of cards in a similar style. Don't know if they'll be as well-received as this one, but we'll see.
Thanks again for your comments and encouragement -- to GOD be the glory!!

Fantastic doodling! Really cool turquoise paper, too. Love the look you got with the Souffle pens (which I just got but haven't used yet--wow!). Fabulous card, amazing, love it!
