Feature The Colour Pink

It seems a while since I have shared something that wasn't for a DT or for card chain challenge, so when I saw the reminder for The Flower Challenge #99 and realised I had a card ready, I decided to just post it.
The challenge asks for cards to feature pink, so here is my card:


The flowers are foiled and the images coloured with my polychromos pencils. I mounted the panel on a coloured cardbase and added a few gems to finish.


You can see the shine from the foil a bit better on this picture.

I am also adding this to NBUS #71 as the peonies are NBUS

Supplies:
cardstock: Cardbase - Hunkydory adorable scorable mattastic
Press plates: Spellbinders Peony Perfection, and a little message sentiments,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

This is a stunner Hilary, and I bet much better in the flesh. Love the gold on the flowers...lessons required please.

So very beautiful with the gold and gems, Hilary! It seems quicker and easier to make a card than to photograph and write a post, but I'm so glad you shared this eye candy today!

Hi Hilary,
your card is just wonderful! Beautiful colouring. And very nice to make an enveloppe which is matching!

This is so pretty, Hilary, and so feminine! I love how you achieved such elegance with a QACAS flair! (And you make me itch again for a foiling system!!) Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
