For today's colors, Mary chose, Melon Mambo, Dapper Denim & Pear Pizzazz. For dessert: something new-I have never used Buckaroo Blue and first time for the vanilla ribbon.
For the alphabet challenge letter S: Sympathy, Satin Ribbon. I could not find a place for the sentiment on the front without taking away from the simpleness, so I left it off.
I water colored my image using blender pens and ink pads. I added some white dots to the flower's center with my gel pen. Since this will be a sympathy card, I kept it clean and used vanilla butterflies placing a rhinestone on the largest one. The nestie is popped up on fun foam. I decided that I wanted some texture so the panel on top of the cb is core'dinations cs. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

What a stunning sympathy card Roberta! My goodness. I really love this textured ivory cs you used, the gorgeous water coloring and depth of color you achieved in your flower and the lovely die you used to showcase this flower. I also love that you added these special leaves with berries to the flower image. The hint of satin ribbon really gives a classy feel to this already elegant card. Whomever receives this beautiful card will truly appreciate it my friend. Hugs! ~Karen.

This card is so pretty. Your watercolouring is beautiful. I love Buckaroo Blue - actually it's still my all time favourite blue. I wish we could still get it in the cs.

Oh this is beautiful - especially the way you coloured the flower and leaves. The ribbon detail really adds an elegant touch and of course vanilla is my favourite colour! Love it lots.
