I made this card for this week's Alphabet challenge. Ann is our hostess and she has selected the letter M for this challenge. The M in this card is the mondo-sized Rose image. I do believe this is the largest single flower image I have ever colored, and what fun it was to color too.
This beautiful rose image was a gift from Ann (AnnsForte3)- thank you Ann. The 2nd part of the gift is she stamped this on Cougar 110 lb white cardstock. What a joy this paper is to color on- wow! I doubt if I ever use any other paper again because this has spoiled me so much. The image was colored with copic markers, then die cut with a stitched square die. I sponged the image panel with Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress ink to bring out the color of the bloom a little more. Added the die cut sentiment and layered up the card.
Thank you Ann for this wonderful image and paper, thank you for the challenge and thank you for looking today! ~Karen.

This giant flower is gorgeously colored, Karen! how beautiful against the blue bg, and the thanks in black is the best choice to add, without detracting from a thing it covers.
