This is the outside of my Pop-up Diorama card for Cook22's (Sabrina) Technique Lover's Challenge this week. I stamped the beautiful Anna Griffin image on a somewhat dappled grey CS. It is coloured with pencils and odourless mineral spirits. The Cuttlebug die is from a set of 4 named 'Vintage' and really is vintage. I have had them forever! Thanks Sabrina for a real (for me) challenge!

Oh wow - what beautiful colouring. The way you chose a non-white paper really suits the soft old-fashioned look of your floral spray. The light oval sponging around it makes it just glow with life.
I love those corners - the foam is starting to wear off mine with use, though.

Totally GORGEOUS, Ann! Your front as well as the inside is so beautifully colored and designed. The scrolls in the corners are the perfect accent. Your coloring with the colored pencils is exquisitely done!

Love those corner scrolls, and how they "hug" your flower image - the warm "glow" around your bouquet only serves to make them stand out more - got to check the inside!!!!!

Those flourishes compliment beautifully your floral image. Love all the premium white space, too. One very special card. It's really pretty. Nice work.

What a wonderful - softly coloured image. I have those ancient Cuttlebug corner dies - the first dies I ever bought all those years ago - but they are great. Such a very pretty card.

Such a beautifully colored image with amazing sponging around it. I have these corners and I went to great length a few years ago to search them out to buy them! You have used them with the perfect image. GREAT job!
