You can read more about my adventure here.
When I saw Alli Miles (one of my all-time favorites!) had created an image for me to color with Copics, I jumped at the chance! :) I love everything about her style...so it was no surprise that this flower caught my eye:
For some reason that flower just screamed "tropical" to me... so who am I to argue with a flower?
Here's the card in its entirety:
What do you think of that fancy edge? Isn't it cool? It's PTI's Edger Die (#1) and it gives a card a little somethin-somethin. :) I wanted to have the inside a coordinating color, so I took another PTI die (this time a Scallop Edge) and went with it...
The little rhinestones (from Studio 18) finished off the empty space on the card's front. :)
Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

Ted - great job! Love it.
Hmm, I think I like the flower as "tropical"- great colors!
Love this Ted! It such a bright fun card. That edger die is the perfect touch!
This is really pretty, Ted! It's funny you mention that the flower made you think "tropical" because I thought the exact same thing. I even practiced my Copic coloring skills and found this particular image quite easy to color.
Very cool and tropical. Love the color combo and how you colored the flower. Keep it up, you have card talent!!!!

Beautiful! What an awesome job coloring that flower! Love how you did the inside edge under the deco edge.... very cool!
This is gorgeous. I love that flower and the edger dies give your card a very polished look.
Hi Ted! just recently converted from stalker to Follower of your blog and want to thank you for the fun posts and beautiful inspiration from your cards. This one is amazing and you are right not to argue with a flower :o)
Great twist on the scalloped edge for your card. You colored the flower beautifully too. Nice job on this. Best, Curt
