This card took a little time but I like how it turned out, not sure about the lace bu it can be removed if my daughter doesn't like it.
First i stamped the image and greeting with Versa Mark and then heat embossed the image with white embossing powder.
I then sponged the Paper Pizzas, Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette onto the background leaving most of the image free. I then spritzed the ink and let it blend in lifting any of the ink from the image with paper towel. Last of all I coloured the image with the copic markers matted it and added the embellishments.
The colouring was a little time consuming but it always takes me to a happy place, it is like meditation for me.
The card is also for the teapot challenge peaceful place. My garden is my peaceful place especially tending to my roses. I didn't have a nice rose image so went with this Penny Black image.
The destination for this card is going to have to be my daughters 39th birthday.

Beautiful background and beautifully colored flowers. I wish I could have a rose garden but I get rose fever. Like hay fever only roses. This is a beautiful card for your daughter's birthday.

Oh my, your coloring is so exquisite, the flowers just leap off the page! The sponged background highlights these beauties perfectly as well. I agree with you Marg, coloring can be a wonderful type of meditation. So happy you joined the color challenge this week!
