This card is for today's color challenge hosted by Kelly(schirmcat). Today's colors are Krafty Saffron Nights!!! LOVE these!!!
This card is also for CHF Summer Design Challenge I am using CHF single Coneflower and Mona Lisa's Script Essential Expressions sets. I colored my coneflower using copics and used an ornare piercing template to create some visual interest around the borders. I am using some retired print patterns dp in saffron. I finished with a slightly a skewed oval center sentiment. I added silver pearl domes in various sizes to complete my card.

Your coloring of the coneflower is so rich, Betty, and I, too, love the ornate piercing. I do have a question, though: if you put your oval askew, does that mean you are askew?? LOL! Just teasing! Sometimes my alter ego, Bertie, gets a little outta line.
