Hello, sweet friends! What a busy day it's been. Today I have two cards for you - one is this card for the Power Poppy Instant Garden Digital Image called Created to Create, and what fun to color - I had a wonderful time and also decided to make my flowers a totally different color. Yes, they are daffodils, but I was looking for pink daffodils (and there really are pink daffodils). Mine took a different direction, and I think it fit with the "freedom" of this collage - do you think? Well, they are peachy pink now. Hehe! I also had fun with making my watercolor kit "messy" like when I watercolor!
This new digi comes as you see it and also with the "canvas" blank to do whatever you want. Fun, eh? There is a lot of coloring on this one, but you know I love to color. I decided to use a die I haven't used yet with a notebook edge, and it took me quite a while to get it all lined up with the matting and the die. I added a top-fold card base with the notebook edge hanging off (and it will need a handmade envelope that I just may decorate too).
Thanks so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you like it. It sure was fun and good therapy for me. I need to color more (for enjoyment and practicing my flicking that I learned in class - haha!).
Stop by my blog for more details and to see both cards and the new digis.

Beautiful Cheryl. Love the pink daffodils - yes there are pink ones too. This desk reminds me of what mine looks like - right down to the painty, drippy little brush. I love all the lovely bright colours in your paint palette too. Sure hope they make this one in "rubber" - I will be first in line to buy it.

WOW, Cheryl!!! An image with a LOT of intricate coloring....which you did exquisitely. Be a terrific card to send to a fellow card maker with its "create" theme. You are a great ambassador for PowerPoppy images.

Oh my, sweet Cheryl, you gave us two wonderful cards to admire!! I love this image as well. The flowers are so beautifully colored in a delightful color and the two-tone gorgeous sentiment. I think the little watercolor tray with the colors running over is so gorgeous!!

Well, the sentiment , the messy pallet (love it!) and the flowers on the edge had me from the start, but then I was totally enamored with your coloring. :-) A stunning card, Cheryl!
