Using reinkers in the chosen colors with a lot of water on the aqua brush, I watercolored the crocus. When that was dry, I came in with a black Copic and colored in the bg. Edged with the gold paint pen.
I chose this particular crocus image for Easter since I thought the three blooms represented the Trinity.

Your usual excellence in coloring and choosing designs. Fabulous card. I'm glad to read how the coloring was done. I'm in the process of learning to color.

Wow, love the traces on color in your beautiful crocuses. You took what could have been a fairly bland white flower and made it sparkle with color! Love how you did that!

These three flowers do make a lovely Easter card. I like the symbolism. Beautifully colored with the challenge combo. I like your creativity to color in the background in black. The gold edging is a fantastic touch. Well done! TFS

This is simply breathtaking Sallie. I actually have shivers by looking at this stunning crocus. I am so in awe of your water coloring skills and your master of using ink and water. I love, love, love everything you have done with this gorgeous card! Hugs! ~Karen.
