Hello friends! I'm getting some flowers colored before the end of summer. My flower pots are still going strong with no indication of giving up for a long time yet, and the pink Amaryllis in the garden are just now in full bloom. I was thinking of all those colors when I got to work on this.
Again, I've done no-line coloring with Tombows and blender. The die and stamp are both Penny Black from earlier this summer (spring?), and the birthday sentiment and sprinkles are retired Stampin' Up.
Closer:
I'd like to play along in the following challenges today:
Triple B September. The challenge calls for birds, blooms, or butterflies -- any or all. The beautiful mood board inspires, but is optional.
NBUS Challenge #54. My never before used schtuff is the Penny Black Happy Mail stamp.
Quick question: Are you receiving my blog post emails? I recently found all mine in junk mail. Technology, sheesh.
I appreciate everyone who found their way here today. Wishing you a beautiful week!
Stamps: Penny Black Happy Mail, retired SU birthday sentiment and Itty Bitty Backgrounds (splatters) Paper: Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor, pre-cut green textured card (old Hero Arts), light green and olive green scraps for "happy" Ink: Ranger Archival Pale Ochre, SU Close to Cocoa, Palette Landscape (green sentiment) Coloring: Tombow markers with homemade blender solution Other: Penny Black Happy Edger die

Another fabulous case of coloring flowers on your part! I can never get over how detailed your cards are. This is a real beauty.
Oh so pretty. Love those flowers. Have a great day
Oh, I am so excited to see this! Your flowers look so beautiful, fresh and glowing with your coloring! If I had to guess in advance what Penny Black products you might purchase, it would have been just this! I love seeing how you've used them. The yellow hues of the envelope are a lovely detail that I would not have thought of. We really are two peas in a pod, Leslie!
I am getting your blogging emails, though I usually wait until I hit my reader on my laptop before visiting. The coloring on these are gorgeous. Love the pinks.
Oh my gosh. You have brought those flowers to life, Leslie! Gorgeous colours and so pretty with them bursting out of th envelope. Your no-line watercolour is fantastic ... it looks like they've been watercoloured, not coloured with alcohol markers. How did you do that??!! xx
I love no line coloring.You have done a beautiful job here! I love your PB die as well...you should link it to the PBlack challenge too!! I need to get some of those word edge die as your inspiration is so lovely!
Incredible no-line coloring again today, Leslie - you spoil us! This must have taken forever with all the tiny little leaves and blooms - I always see those smallest ones as forget-me-nots, too!
Such a beautiful birthday card!

It's beautiful, thanks for bringing those lovely flowers into my day. It is so hot here today that I am stuck indoors with the blinds closed so it is lovely to see these beauties. Thank you. What a great way to use that happy die and givr us a peak of that gorgeous green. Thank you xx
Oh my gosh Leslie...the coloring on your flowers is INCREDIBLE!! Your no-line coloring with markers looks so much like water coloring and I am just blown away! Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL card my friend!! Your posts still come up on my sidebar when you make a new post. Some have stopped working this way (crazy blogger!!) but yours still seems to work! Hugs. :0)
I just love your coloring. Beautiful!!!
Anyone would be delighted to receive this happy mail, Leslie! So beautifully colored and I love the wash around the flowers and the die cut happy edge! I get your notices from Follow It. They are usually a day or two later than you post.
Gorgeous flowers and beautiful aged effect on the envelope. Your happy sentiment is perfect showing the base colour of the card ♥
Yes I'm getting your email notifications the day after the post goes live which I think is normal.
This is so pretty! I'm in awe of your no-line water coloring, Leslie. Its' something I fail miserably at, but you have it down!
Love how beautiful and serene this one is! Enjoy the week!
Hi Leslie,
I still check your blog often and will have to see if I’m still signed up for emails as yours is like visiting a friend and I always come away excited to try something new. Also always check on the pup report and keeping you in prayer.
I love Penny Black and bought some of these edger word dies and a bird stamp which I may have to try to enter. I love watching their water color videos.love your card and the envelope overflowing with beautiful flowers!! What a cheerful card to treasure!!
As always your coloring is perfection! Your eye for color just amazes me. Simply beautiful my friend!
Before I forget I get email updates from you through follow it, and I did get this one on Saturday, just late getting around, busy weekend.
Your card is just gorgeous, you took great inspiration from your garden for sure, such a lovely job on the coloring and I do like the happy border die, I have been eyeing those but keep telling myself I don't need them, we will see how well I listen to myself :)
Beautiful. Greetings, Erika
It's a gorgeous card, like a painting that should be framed!!
A beautiful mix of colors just like a garden should be!! I am always amazed at how beautiful you can color with your Tombows!! I just emptied my pots out, it was time, they were getting scraggly, and replaced them with small pots of mums, even planted some bulbs but am having a hard time finding them this year!! Did you order from the Cottage Cutz sale, I put a small order in for a few prizes and a few for me! Oh and thanks for joining our challenge at Triple B too!
This is such a beautiful card. I love the flowers and your coloring is spectacular as always.
Another beautiful bouquet from your talented fingers, Leslie! You work magic with that blender and your color skills to bring flowers to life! I love the whole no-line design! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS!
I sadly do not get your post notifications in my inbox anymore. Do you get mine? The whole experience changed for me and my routine of visiting when Feedburner left us.😒 Hugs, Darnell
Oh my - another beautiful, no-line colored image. So perfect. A fabulous card, for sure.
Love this card with the Happy die cut at the top. I also purchased some of these but haven’t tried them yet. Your coloring is beautiful as always, Leslie! I’m always inspired visiting here. Take good care.
