Like most of my cards, this one was made in a lot of 10 minute sessions squezed in between the things I have to do. I love the colors in this week's CC and have at least 50 images I want to color. The colored image is really one thin, tall image colored and fussy cut 3 times, then fitted together and taped on the back side to make one rectangle panel. The edges of the flowers are popped up with pop dots. The rest is pretty self explanatory. TFL,Francie

I see your cards and I think I should pay more attention to the colour challenges! This has such an Indian look to it with those flowers and the background panel, and the colours are beautiful. I grew blue poppies for a couple of years - but then they disappeared and never came back again.

Your talent in creating shadows and highlights makes your coloring "glow", Francie. In fact, with this image it imparts a magical quality....just gorgeous!

Love those colors together! Your coloring is over the top amazing. I don't have any flower images because I can't color them, but I can see you've mastered whatever it takes to make flowers look as good as these.

This is fabulous, Francie, and already in my favorites! I love that you put together the three separate images - I would never have guessed that it was anything beside a large stamp. The colors, and your coloring, are fantastic, and the design is awesome!

Francie, your card is AMAZING!!! You did an awesome job coloring your flowers!! You must have great patience also to have cut your image out and taped it as you have. This scores big time!! :>)

OH SO AMAZING! Your coloring just makes me sigh....(with pleasure of course) those poppies are delicious! I am in awe that you can work in 19 minute increments. I would forget what I was doing :-) Your design work on this is genius and it is pure eye candy!
