Happy St. Paddy's Day and Another New Card

Good morning, ya'll!  If you have been following my blog from the beginning, you'll remember the 3 variations of cards I made using the same stamped image.  If not, you can find them here.  I stated in that post that I had colored about a dozen copies of that image after I got my Copic markers so I could experiment with all the beautiful colors and to practice my technique as I have had no training in how to use them.  Here is another variation of that same rose.  I have been building up my card stash and making items to enter into some of the cool challenges I have found all around Blogland.  I still have 2 or 3 more roses to do something with but I promise the next card will use a different image! LOL

The first 3 cards were relatively simple in design and used softer, more muted colors, whereas lately I have been using more bright and bold colors and more complicated designs.  I think my psyche was longing for springtime and so I have been leaning more toward the warm side of the spectrum.  The main colors on this card are yellow, peachy orange and pink.  The inside sentiment says "Life is Special with Friends like You".
