I jokingly told a friend the other night that combining a sketch challenge and a color challenge created 95% of the card for you. This card made me eat those words a bit. I used the colors from the colourQ challenge and paired them with the weekly sketch challenge on Splitcoast. I took me a bit to figure out where to use each color and what elements to add in, but I finally managed to get something that I liked. What do you think? I am not the best at coloring, so I'm trying to work on it a bit. Just like I don't like things touching, I also don't like my coloring to go outside of the lines. That makes watercoloring difficult, but I'm trying...

What a darling card! I had to chuckle about your coloring issues. It sounded like you were describing ME! I think you did a beautiful job with the coloring, and the colors you used and where you used them. I'm so inspired by your card, I hope you don't mind if I CASE it. I just love how you used the embossing folder. TFS
