Lavender side fold card with a handmade satin layer. Over top a lighter lavender with a white Digi print image, colored with alcohol Tombow brush/markers. The greeting was Digi printed, too. I added a green satin ribbon/bow. I used a gel pen to color the rim of the plate and the neck of the cup. Inside I used a rich purple color to die-cut the large word and stamped my headline (looks dark in the photo). I put 2 because coloring is still in a learning phase. Learning at my age to color/shade isn't the easiest. But I am enjoying this challenging phase of my life!

Beautiful card -- every layer of it. And, your shading is great. I love the rich purples you get with your Tombows. The COPICS are often too violet or too blue for my taste. Yours look wonderful. I'm sure whichever of your many friends received this that they were thrilled. Wonderful card.

Betty, you are doing a WONDERFUL job of coloring your images. Give yourself a pat on the back! Your card is beautiful with the teacup filled with posies. Lovely back panel and a perfect satin bow(wish I could make mine like that)

This is so pretty and in such lovely colors. Very pleasing design with that darling teacup of flowers- beautifully colored too. That background paper with the design in it is gorgeous. Your bow looks amazing.
