The flower stamp is from Gina K's set called Lovely Shelf. I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. But, instead of leaving the flowers soft and shading them, I colored them dark. I did them light at first, but didn't like them very well. I like them much better this way. The sentiment is from Papertrey's Birthday Basics set. All the pink is Pink Pirouette from Stampin' Up! (It's now retired.) I also used black for matting the main image panel and I used Pop Dots to mount the sentiment. Two unusual things about this card. One is that I didn't use white for the base:) The other is the bottom sheerish-black layer. We got a new netbook computer at Christmas, and this is the fibrous, papery thing that was protecting the keyboard. I was going to toss it, but then I realized it would work somehow on a card! I like the looks of it - being able to see the pink through it. A couple pearls for the flower centers and the card is complete.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Very attractive card. I had noticed that most of your cards are white with designs on top of them. When I saw this one I wondered about that dark layer....great idea to recycle something. :) Wonderful card!
Pretty card Lynette.
The background to this card is beautiful. You do an awesome job coloring flowers.
