Because I didn't have a "flesh" colored pencil, I did color her features in with a Blush Blossom (SU!) marker first--I keep an old one because it seems paler in tone than the current one (?). Anyway, it's perfect for flesh tone--For some reason, I really hate seeing people images stamped on white paper, and left with just white skin tones--they look all pastey and unhealthy! So, quicker than a trip to the Fake & Bake, I give 'em that nice, sunny glow! (wink!)
When I wanna take the time, I do enjoy watercoloring an image, and the Bellas have some nice expansive areas that make it fun and easy to do so. I used pencils here in this case. Cosmobella is a bit skinnier than I am IRL (Bwa ha haaaaaaaaaaa!!!), so she does have a tighter "frame" . . .

This card made me smile, and makes me want to take a trip to the liquor cabinet with some girl friends. It's five o'clock somewhere, right? Love the layout and the flower.
