A color page on a card?!

On the STAMPlorations blog, they have a 

challange to use a color page on a card. Why? 

Well they have a new coloring book, especially designed 

for card makers. It is called Color Blooms.

This image that I used is a freebie on their blog here.

I am not a very good colorer, but i love water colors. 

Now that i have the new distress crayons and found 

that they also color wonderful. So I started with

coloring the background in Antique linnen.

The flowers in yellow and blue.

I cut all the pieces (I printed 4 of the same size

coloring pages) before I started the coloring

and the matching green papers.

After taping everything together I added a few gemstones

on the top flowers.

The sentiment and the dictionary background on the card base

are stamps by Club Scrap.

On top of the base card and the colored flower page

I sprayed this bronze mica distress spray and it gives

the card a wonderful shimmer.

I really loved using this color page.

It looks like a collage stamp.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day.
