I was really feeling the white space at the time. Just a bit of polka dot designer paper 'cause that's one of my favorite things, and a sentiment from one of Power Poppy's clear stamp sets -- Vibrant Thanks. Oh, I did a little stitching up the side, too. Coloring was done with Copics.
Check out these beautiful cards, too:
I hope you have a nice weekend, whether you're staying home or getting out and about. Whatever your plans, be safe and alert, please! Thank you so much for your time.

This card is lovely! My mother's garden was filled with Zinnias. I think of her when I see them and you have given me a sweet memory this morning!
Sweet image and love your colours, they looks so pretty. Have a great weekend. ♥
Oh my, love this Leslie, love the pop of colour of the Zinna's on white and just that bit of black polka dot paper. Your colouring is beautiful as always, love the bit of stitching to finish this off! So happy to see your card today. I'm off until Tuesday, hoping to get some colouring done on the weekend especially sun & mon when temp are over 100 again, nice to be inside where it is cool and create! Enjoy your day! Hugs,
This is just beautiful, Leslie! I love the bright, vibrant colors, the pop of black, and the wonderful use of white space....but the stitching! Eeek, love the stitching!
Beautifully colored, Leslie. I get that velvety feel from your darkest one and the bright beautiful lightness on the other two. Leaving some color off the petals really enhances it all. Fabulous.
Sweet! LOVE those bright and beautful zinnas! Gorgeous colouring Leslie! xx
LOVE the stitching every time you do it! Why don't I ever do that? Zinnias are my favorite flower, Leslie. Gorgeous choice of colors, they look so beautiful as if I could touch them. The softly colored mat and polka dots set them off brilliantly.
Leslie I like how vibrant this is and with the white framing it really grabs you. Beautiful coloring, so cheerful! Love it.
When I saw your card it reminded me of my Dad! When we got our first house, he would come every year and plant marigolds and zinnias for us around our little bird bath. I love your coloring and of course your stitching. Thanks for the memory! Stay safe!
This is so bright and happy and beautiful!! It makes me happy! Have a great weekend!
Beautiful design and l love the coloring of your pretty scene.
Bright, happy and cheerful little flowers in beautiful vases. What could be better? I sure do love your coloring, and zinnias are so much fun to color I bet. Great card, Leslie. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day.
another lovely CAS card. Have a great day
What pretty zinnias, Leslie! Love the bright colors with your awesome coloring! Love the white space that lets the flowers show beautifully!
I have missed your artsy stitching on these gorgeously colored cards, Leslie! This one feels extra sweet, and filled with love. So pretty! xx
Super pretty. Zinnia's are a "happy" flower. Your coloring is fabulous.
Your Zinnia's are beautiful. I love that image with the different flowers and vases. That pop of polka dots really sets it off.
Beautifully copics colored digi dahlia's, Leslie. LOVE your CAS design, especially the added snippet of polka dot paper and sweet sentiment..oh..and the bit of sewing:-) So sweet and pretty. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
One summer I actually grew zinnias from seed...."hot" colors of zinnias that I had seen in an old Portland cemetery the year before. :-) I haven't been able to raise them since... but I keep trying. The zinnias on your card are so realistic, and all that white space just accents their vibrant colors.
Beautiful Zinnias in such pretty and vibrant colors, a card surely to cheer anyone up!! my flowers need a major overhaul here so nice to see some pretty ones!!!
Gorgeous coloring and I love the off the edge design! Yep, that little pop of polka dots is PERFECT!! Happy Weekend my friend!
So pretty! I love the image off to the side. And of course, I love the white space. The dotted paper is just perfect. Two pieces of pink dotted paper just showed up on my table. I think I should use them just like this. :)
Gorgeous, so love your coloring, you always make them look so soft and velvety, like you just want to touch them :) Like your design of offsetting them and your extra touch of sewing the side, just great little touches!
Absolutely stunning... I adore your flower cards.. I could never colour them half as good as you...
Such a sweet card. I love the zinnas. I have a spellbinders zinna die that I have not used for ages. I love the sewing and the little bit of dotted paper. Great design.
I love zinnias! I failed to plant any this year. :-(
YOu've colored up Marcella's zinnias beautifully. Very summery card.
So pretty! Love that side stitch too!
Gorgeous CAS card love the beautifully coloured zinnias and added stitching
