Hi, sweet friends, and happy Friday! I've been waiting to color this sweet little camellia in a dish. A dear friend often gives my husband some flowers like this one to bring home when DH has helped with his computer. And I have a little dish much like this one that I place the flower in. This image so reminds me of his lovely wife, Mary, who loves flowers and especially pink - and I'm sure this card will be for her. Thanks, Janette, for a great sketch this week - such a nice one! I rotated the sketch 90 degrees. Had fun with this card and even added some paper-piercing and sanded the edges of the scalloped die. Otherwise, I kept it simple and easy to mail.
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you like it. Enjoy the weekend - and remember to take time to smell the flowers! Hugs!

Cheryl, I'm so embarrassed! I thought I had commented on this beautiful card - alas, I had not. When I read your write-up it made me think of the lovely crystal bowl I have which I use for the same purpose. Coloring and showing the illusion of water is tricky - you've done a terrific job my friend. What makes this card even more lovely (if that's possible) is the choice of designer paper. The simply stated layout is one more piece to showcase this beautifully colored image.
