Your colors are so bright and cheerful. Coloring on kraft looks so different from plain white. It is really vibrant and I love the stamp.

Great job with this technique Colleen. I have only done this once (for Darnell's recent NBUS challenge). It's not easy to get shading to give dimension, but you have managed to do a great job with that. Love the design with the mix of patterned papers and torn edge. xx

Looks like we were on the same wavelength this week with using Fresh Bouquet Colleen, and yours turned out FABULOUS! Don't you just love having Melissa as inspiration?! When I grow up I want to be just like her!! But anyway, I love your card and coloring and all your lovely layers too! :0)
