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.

Another beautiful creation. Your coloring on this big guy is perfect and adding that simple, big thanks was all it needed to make it stand out and shine. And now I have to go find some Cougar paper too. You really are an enabler. LOL.

Eye-catching and beautiful. Awesome coloring. Love how you used the image in a square frame. The die-cut Thanks over the rose is excellent. Well done, Karen! Thanks for the tip about the paper. Love your card.
