When I'm going to color up flower images - I will usually Google the flower - to see actual photos. Now since stargazers are one of my favorite flowers, I really didn't have to look at a lot of flowers - but what the stamp doesn't have is all the dots on the petals. So, after coloring the image up with my prisma pencils, I used a Sharpie and added the dots. It made such a change to the whole image.
I kept everything else pretty simple on the card.
As a side note - I drove 9 hours yesterday on my doggy transport and when I got home I was exhausted. This morning, I'm back up at the shelter walking dogs and working a Spay Day event until 5pm-ish - so when I get home - I will return my blog visits.
Thanks for your visit!

This is a gorgeous card, the flowers are done to perfection, the coloring is amazing, beautiful job. What a weekend you had, but the doggies I am sure appreciate it so much.
I'm sorry to hear you needed a sympathy card. This one is gorgeous. Your coloring is amazing.
Your coloring is gorgeous! Very lifelike! Stargazer lilies are one of my favorite flowers, too. I think it has something to do with the fact that they are pink. Haha! Beautiful card! :)
You colour so very well, Maria! This card will surely bring lightness to the person who receives it. The flowers are lovely... and it is refreshing not to see just soft pastels in a sympathy card. I like the confidence with which you made it.
