Here's one of the two versions of the newest Instant Garden digital release, and I chose the one without the bowl. I added the sentiment from Rose and Chamomile, since this is going to a dear mom whose 3-year-old daughter is on a difficult and long journey with MDS.
I really enjoyed coloring this bouquet, although it was a challenge to find the right colors that seemed to work for me and make it look cohesive. I went the CAS way again with a simple mat. I'm late posting this card, because I wasn't feeling well for a while. But thanks so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you like it.
Thanks again for the prayers and encouragement for me and DH. He's doing well and is doing a bit more PT and is scheduled for the other knee two weeks from today. Needless to say, we are hustling to get ready (having learned a lot from the first surgery/recovery). Hugs and love to you all, sweet friends! xoxo

I truly understand the learning curve from one knee surgery to the next, but your husband's are a bit closer than mine...they were a year apart!
I digress... Your lovely bouquet is just that, Cheryl...LOVELY! A beautiful color combination and beautifully colored as always! Very few do it as well!

This is such a beautiful image and you've colored it beautifully. Cheryl, sending prayers for the two of you as Walt prepares for more surgery. I know it has been a long road but I'm hoping the next will be much easier for both of you.

Hello sweet lady!! Your coloring is just as amazing as always! That image is really gorgeous and I'm really enjoying the beautiful blooms in my backyard right now too! The sentiment works beautifully with this as well!! HUGS
