I used Kennedy Grace Creations, Graces Little Notes stamp set with a bit of masking to make this card. The "just because" diet is from Frantic Stamper Inc. I cut it several times and aded a little bit of highlighting to the letters. I chose to back it with an edge of green to add a little lift.
I have been unhappy with the card I use for colouring for a little while and after much searching and reading with Mr Google I discovered Bristol board/card was a common card recommended for coloured pencil. I have tried finding it here for s while and have tracked down a store I can get it from. I finally splashed out and bought a 9x12 pad of 15 sheets and oh boy do I love it. I am really surprised at the difference a good quality card makes. So its not quite as white as I like but I really don't care as its such a joy to work on. Its a bit like chalk and cheese to what I was using and I had no idea.
Hope you pop back again soon

Wow, this is pretty. I have heard of that paper but have never tried myself. I'm going to save my pennies and find some. Thanks for the tip.
Beautiful card Karen, love the design.
Hi Karen, this is a beautiful card - I love how you have coloured those flowers and your design is really striking with the die cut sentiment.
