I printed the Camellias a while back, having goofed around with filters in Photoshop. Gave them a somewhat sketchy look, but I can't remember exactly how. I do like it, though. I did some selective coloring and cutting in order to make everything fit on the card.
The Camellias are printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and colored with Copic markers. The card front is covered with some delicately patterned designer paper and a pale chartreuse frame. I left it embellishment-free for ultimate mailability.
That wraps up the week, friends! Lots of busy stamping fit in around the rest of life's agenda. Today is our son's birthday and it's Friday the 13th. The first time his birthday fell on Friday the 13th it gave me a real creepy feeling, but this year we're celebrating with him and simply enjoying ourselves.
Thank you so much for dropping in. Have a good weekend!

You are definitely the Queen of flowers! I am always amazed at how gorgeous they are! And this is no exception! WOW!!! It just doesn't get any more beautiful than this and I love the verse with it! AWESOME card, Leslie! Now I want to pull some flower stamps out!

Truly a beautiful card and gorgeous colors. I love that Bible verse too!
Another masterpiece awaiting a frame. That is one of my favorite scriptures too. Hope you have a wonderful celebration with your son.
I'm sure your friend will love this card. I like how the flowers printed out as well and the verse goes so well. We are warming up and I'm looking for my flowers to pop pretty soon. Have a wonderful birthday celebration with your son!
I couldn't wait to get home from work as I knew you would be posting a floral card today. I am always 'awe-struck' with your gorgeous colouring and layouts of your floral cards and this one is no exception! Love the sketchiness of the outline of the image, the beautiful background paper, the pale chartreuse frame (so bright and cheerful) and the beautiful sentiment. Your friend will love this. Enjoy the birthday celebration with your son! Have a wonderful weekend Leslie!
lovely card. Love the coloring of the flowers. beautiful. Have a great day
Love your customized camellias, Leslie. I have the most difficult time with PS, but wish I could learn more. Not sure if it is a mental block, or if I just cannot remember which icons to to click on and in what order. Your beautiful Leslie-style coloring with happy highlights is always captivating. They are lovely, and so is your card. Hugs, de
Oh my this is just amazing, your friend is going to be very pleased with it and the verse is a great one when going through rough times. Gorgeous coloring, you always do such a lovely job with your highlighting and wow the fussy cutting is terrific! I like the soft colors/paper behind your framing, great way to top off the week! Hope you enjoy a lovely weekend!
Leslie I love how soft this looks, and yet the colours are vibrant...beautiful work with these camellias and the verse. Perfect paper as the background too - it had that soft wash feel. Very dreamy! Hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration together!
So beautiful!! As always your colouring is stunning and I love the staging for your photo too!
So pretty, Leslie. Your coloring is awesome. Nothing new there:-) Hope you had a great time with your son. We are in Chicago with our daughter and family. Missing a blizzard at home! That's fine. Well just go home to Winter again.
Wow, Leslie, this one blesses my heart and soul and is a feast to my eyes. The camellias are beautifully colored and your card is so soothing and serene. Hope you thoroughly enjoyed the birthday celebration with your son.
