I used one of my favourite stamps from Simon Says Stamp, colouring the flowers in oranges and reds on watercolour paper. I added a few details with a white gel pen and stamped a sentiment to finish. Also rounded both top corners for something different. :)
Here's a close-up ...

Just beautiful. Love these hot colors, and the technique worked superbly for this lovely card. I'll be checking your photos. Just tried the suggestion to check the 'notify me' at the bottom of the commenting. Hope it works! Big hugs and so glad ya'll had such a productive and fun time.
I loved this technique too and will be posting a tag using my piece. Your gorgeous flowers are even more stunning IRL. TFS Loll. Hugs...
Another technique you’ve mastered beautifully, Loll. Wonderful colors on that image. I can see why you love it!
Loll, beautiful colouring with pencils, I love the pinks and oranges such a beautiful card.
Fabulous coloring, Loll! Love the beautiful and smooth color blending of oranges and reds. The white gel pen details are a nice finishing touch too. Hideko xx
Your colouring turned out beautifully - and it made for a wonderful CAS card! I had a good time looking through all the retreat photos again - good idea to set them up on a new tab!
This is stunning colouring and blending Loll - a fabulous card!

This is one of my favorite stamps too and I love how it looks colored this way! What kind of pencil crayons did you use? The term pencil crayon is new to me. I have some Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils and wonder if that's the same thing?
Wonderful card, Loll! Your blending looks fabulous. You learned that technique well. Thanks for sharing the photos of the retreat. You all look as though you are having a marvelous time. Your projects look fantastic as well. So happy for you to have been able to participate with good friends. :)
So very beautiful.

That blend of red and orange is beautiful, Loll, and the white gel pen detail shows it off all the more. How fun to play with yet another medium! So nice that Alex could take photos for you while you were all busy in your work!
Your color blending is so beautifully done and I just love that stamp! Not sure what a pencil crayon is but you've already mastered it. Gorgeous card, Loll!
Another pretty card, Loll. Enjoy your day!
What a BEAUTIFUL card Loll!! I love the vivid color you achieved from the pencil crayons and gamsol...those flowers look so real!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Bold and beautiful, Loll ... these gorgeous blooms really pop! How fabulous to have a photographer in the family ... so enjoyed seeing you ladies at work creating all that magic! Hugs, Anita :)
Gorgeous!!! Love, love, love how this turned out! I actually have this set and to my knowledge, I've not yet inked it up. That needs to be remedied!!! Thanks for the inspiration :-)
Just beautiful, Loll! Stunning results with this technique. Gorgeous colouring as usual. xx
Your mixing of colors is so perfect, Loll. Gamsol is only a tool, but it's your merit, that the technique of coloring and layout of the card is perfect. An amazing, beautiful card!
