All Occasion Card Using Aurora Wings "Orchids In The Rain"

Hello friends!   I thought it was summer here in Southern CA; but I was wrong.  It is colder today and rain.  We need the rain; so I am not complaining.  I like the cooler weather anyway. LOL!   

I created this card using Aurora Wings "Orchids In The Rain".  The challenge is to create using mostly black and white or with just a touch of color.  That is so hard for me.  I am big on lots of colors.  I really wanted to color all the flowers; but thought that was probably more than what was allowed.  LOL!

All Occasion Card Using The New Conie Fong Alanna image

Hello friends!   I think summer has arrived here in Southern CA.  It has been in the 90's.  I hope everyone is doing well.  

I had so much fun coloring this image.  Some creations come together easily and others take a long time.  It took me a few days to figure out the paper to use; but everything went well after that.  I love colored hair; so I always have fun coloring the hair as well.  

Conie Fong is celebrating her 2nd anniversary for her Etsy store; and she is offering this stunning image for only $1.50.  I hope you enjoy my creation.  I will add the link below.
