Here is my card:
My card base and mats are SU Elegant Eggplant and the two patterned papers ares from the Memory Box Viola 6x6 pack. The beautiful image is a digi by ching chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps. She is called Dark Lilies. This is one of the images I chose as my prize for winning a challenge. I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics. I added a bit of Crystal Stickles to the vine and the hummingbird. I added a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses and some iridescent teal gems from my stash. A double-loop seam binding bow finished my card.
Here is a close-up of the colored image:

You've put your card together beautifully and I love that lsuper image.
ReplyDeleteIt had snowed a bit before we got up this morning and I've seen a few tiny flakes. It did cover my driveway, though. I'm sure you'll get a lot more than we will. It has probably quit here for the day. My sis said it is snowing in Tuscaloosa.
So very pretty, love the dark colours that you've used. Hugs xnx
ReplyDeleteStunning!! Love your coloring and the embellishments are just perfect!! Always love to see your cards Carla!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!!

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I love the way you colored her face. What a great job you did. It is snowing here too. I am very excited because it has been awhile since we had snow. Not so fun to drive in it with all the crazy southern drivers but still very pretty. Miss you...
ReplyDeleteThis image is coloured beautifully! x

Brrrr...it's 27 here and the ground is a solid mass of sleet. We still might get a bit of snow out of this mess yet. :-) This coastal girl is freezing her tush off. Your card is beautiful Carla. The different shades of purple are lovely and the image is really pretty and feminine. Stay safe ad warm! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply stunning Carla! A gorgeous image and so beautifully coloured plus all the purples are very striking :)
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous Carla. I love how you colored her face. Beautiful colors and beautiful card. I am amazed at Alabama getting snow. I lived there in Montgomery, my Dad's work sent him there to open some Phillips 66 stations in 1955 & 1956. I missed the snow here at home when we lived there.
ReplyDeletehi Carla!! We are having similar CRAZY odd weather here in Charlotte, NC!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wild, isn't it??! LOL
Love this gorgeous card!! :) :) The purples are so rich and it's a FAB layout!!

Simply gorgeous, Carla! Love the color combo! Love your beautiful image & coloring; love the take on the sketch, the DP, the flowers and that fab bow! :^)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that it is so treacherous there right now. I remember it snowed once when we lived in Georgia, and it shut the whole town down until the snow melted a couple days later. They just aren't prepared for that kind of weather. Hope your hubby gets home safely tomorrow!
Hugs, Penny

Well this is simply put, stunning Carla! I love the colours as they create an overall mystic and of course work beautifully with the name of the image. I love coloring and creating with these grown images they can be utilized for so many occasions. Sorry to hear this crazy weather actually made it's way to your neck of the woods. TTYS:)S
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Carla - beautiful coloring and of course I LOVE all the purple!!! We have been unbelievably cold here too - the kids have been out of school for 3 days now and the DH off work for 2 - unfortunately I am "essential personnel" and had to brave all the ice and go to work - all our bridges were a sheet of ice.....
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, great colouring and I love purple as well, who doesn't? Thanks for playing with us at the Squirrel and the Fox, blessings Hilde
