A Week with Flower Garden - Day 7

Here we are - the last day of highlighting Flower Garden here on my blog.  Thanks to all of you that have stuck with me for this week and for leaving such nice comments!  I hope I have enabled you a little and this set is now at the top of your PTI Wish List!  Don't bump it down - you won't regret it!

On today's card I used the last flower image in the set and wanted to do some coloring.  I love to color!  You could see evidence of that by looking in my son's coloring books.  Really - is there anything better than a new box of crayons? (besides new stamps?)

Here's my card.  I was in the mood for something a little different, so this is a 4.25" square card.

Copics scare me.  Not only are they expensive, but the fact that I have to have certain numbers of certain colors to make sure they all coordinate is a little intimidating.  I love the look of them, and those of you that use them do a great job - but they scare me.  Therefore, I use Aquacolor pencils and a blender pen.

This started in my mind as a CAS card, and I tried to stay true to that original thought, but coloring may have pushed it over the edge of not being simple.  There is a solid stamp to use as a fill-in for those of you that don't like to color.  I outlined the flower in my Sakura Stardust pen to add a little sparkle.  Once again, all of these images are in the main Flower Garden set.  The companion set is a must have too!

Again, thanks for sticking with me for 7 days as I have highlighted one of my favorite stamp sets designed by Lisa Johnson. I'm exhausted and am probably on my way to our beach vacation as you read this!

Here are all the cards together:

I'm trying to decide which set to focus on next - Scattered Showers & Additions, Springtime Doodles or Wishing You.   In the meantime, you can see several other cards I've made with Flower Garden by clicking on these links:
