As most of you know, I don't try to color very often, other than messy watercoloring. I've seen a lot of gorgeous coloring lately in blogland, so maybe that inspired me to see what I could do with my Distress markers. I used spun sugar, tattered rose, antique linen & pumice stone. The blending was done with a barely wet brush. The flower center & stamens are embellished with Champagne Stickles & I added splatters.
The IO sentiment, Precious Treasure (B13027), is one of my favorites. I think having something fairly small to color is helpful for me & I'm going to keep practicing. I do treasure the friendship & support of my blogging friends, so this card could be for any of you!
I'm entering IO Flowers for Friends, SSS Wednesday, WAW & The Flower Challenge.

Very pretty blossoms which look lovely in the soft pinks and sepias and much softer than using black for the stamping.
