Below is my flower-themed card for the day. I used the new Ebony Color Me Card Toppers from Paper Wishes. I love these so much - you can coordinate them with any paper you may have! I colored this one with colored pencils, blending with Gamsol. I popped up the sentiment in the middle with foam tape and added the small flower with a brad.

Great card, Nancy! I've never worked with Gamsol, I usually use the Dove blending pen - I think I like the look you got better.
Thanks for hopping!
