I tried out a new technique for coloring on vellum which I saw on Jennifer McGuire's blog. The only change I made was to color on the front of the image so the colors were more vibrant.
I colored directly onto the flower image with orange and pink markers and then used a soft cloth to blend them ... the leaves are simply stamped with green ink. Both were fussy cut and popped up on the card front. I used soft gray for the sentiment so it didn't overpower the vellum flower and leaves.

Pure gorgeousness Loll. I read Jennifer's post and never tried blending it with my finger. Gotta try this. I love that you used grey on your sentiment.
