Beautiful colors from Mary this week. Using the colors for an online water coloring class practice. The first day we were to use markers to water color. We have so many mediums for coloring, and my markers were collecting dust. Today they saw paper again. First embossed the flowers with silver embossing powder, and using the markers, water colored them. Using the spring green first, and adding the blue to tone it down to look more like blue lagoon. Added the sentiment, silver leaves drawn with a silver pencil. This entire card was made with markers. TFL

Clearly your gifts are not mine, sweet friend. This is amazing! Your silvery leaves simply float from those gorgeously watercolored flowers. Your lettering is extraordinary as well. Next challenge - font design? I love that you share your talent with the world. Big hugs from NJ, Linda - and give one to your husband as well!

Of course, Ms. TV Personality, I knew if I got a chance to look at this challenge, I wouldn't be surprised to come upon the challenge winner ... you. Your flowers are simply gorgeous and your silver outline is precise. You did well, my friend, very well indeed.

Oh, Linda! This is gorgeous, and I saw it earlier in the week and am just now browsing the gallery. Wow, do I love these colors with the image and how you've embossed it. I love the watercolor wash and how you've hand drawn the leaves and the lettering. You continue to delight!! Hugs!
