I combined today's WT513 Getting Better with this week's CC512 challenge.
I wanted the floral image to have a hint of color behind the sentiment, so I dusted off my watercolor pencils and blending pen, and lightly colored the image.
The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. I really appreciate it :-)

This is so beautifully done, Barb. The pastel coloring allows your sentiment to shine! Love the soft color of the paper you chose for this as well as the complimentary green and ribbon.

Oh Barbie this is another beauty! That Bible verse is just perfect for a card like this!!

Such a lovely inspirational/religious card, Barb. Your soft coloring of the underneath image doesn't distract from your Bible quote. The colors are used so well and the stripe DP lends a feminine touch.

What a pretty card, Barb. Your light hand with the colored pencils resulted in such a subtle look. The very light pink stripped paper with the dark primrose band just shows what a terrific sense of design you have.
