This card is for today's color challenge!!! Thanks, Nancy!!! Great colors!!! I am back!!! I pulled a muscle in my back last week and spent some time with a heating pad and ben gay. I am feeling a lot better, but just trying not to aggravate the area.
For this card I am using ODBD July releases Mother Teresa and Grow in Grace sets. I colored my Lotus flower with copics. They are lavender in color eventhough, technically, lotus flowers are supposed to be pink. Forgive me!!! I tried to stay within the color boundaries...lol!!! I did use a tad of green for my lily pads. My going gray color is pretty much the copic C1 marker I used to shadow the flower. Also, the metal detailing could be a gray hue, right? I do want to add that this is a 5 X 7 size card and it uses the LONG small nestabilities.
I am using another big gingham bow!!! I just love gingham. I added a touch of a lemon tart button from a stash that Silke(sparklegirl) sent me. Thanks, girl!!! You're the best!!!
