A Blessing card - 30 Day Color Challenge

Hello Delightful Friends and Family!
Hope your Monday is starting out well!  I have been trying to color everyday, (30 Day Color challenge) even if it's just a little.   Today I'm sharing a card I colored on Saturday night and yesterday was too busy to get it posted.  I've actually colored this image twice, the one shown is colored with Copic Markers.  If I can I will post the second one I colored using Distress Inks and Markers later this evening.

This is a Himalayan Poppy designed by Jennifer Dove  (C C Designs).  I live in California and usually see our state flower in the orange and red tones so this was new to me.  But since blue is my fav color I really enjoyed coloring this image.  I've added a Paper Smooches sentiment and matted this in green and dark blue card stock.  The white base and top layer is Neenah bright white 80lb c/s.   I stamped the image with Versamark and then used white embossing powder which was a challenge coloring with white lines on white c/s.

Thanks for visiting!! I will be sharing this at the following challenge sites:

It's In the Bag! Showered with Love card

Hello Delightful friends and family!
I have a baby shower card to share today.

 I've used the Taylored Expressions stamp and matching die called It's in the Bag.  

I've had the paper for ages and I'm not sure where I got it.  I've used Memento Nautical blue ink to stamp the pacifier and sentiment.  I tore a little piece of tissue and added it to the bag.  A Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen was used to add the faux stitching and the border punch is called Upper Crest by Fiskars.
