I actually stamped and started coloring this jumbo clump of blossoms last night, then continued today and did the shading & detail work Kathy describes as nooks & crannies. You could probably do a million of those and still find room for more but I called the detailing done after about 30 minutes! I used a mitt load of Copics again, some just a drop or two but I'll list them all, if you're interested; if not, skip to the end :)
Copics used:
Copic Blender - 0
Blue/Green - B0000, G12, G40, G82
Beige/Grey - E50, E95, C00, C4
Red - R00, R05, R14, R21, R22, R24,
Pink/Orange - RV02, RV06, RV09, RV25, VR09
I found some perfect cardstock to form an A7 card with a mat in the June Gina K card kit. If you want to use the entire friendship blossoms image you'll need an A7 card. I, for one, would hate to trim off any of this beauty, even though I don't make A7 cards very often! With the angle of the blossom leaving 2 bare corner areas, I decided to stamp the quote in one & the sentiment in the other. Thought it filled nicely without overpowering the image.
I'm also adding my card to Darnell's current NBUS challenge as this blossom is just seeing ink for the first time!! Thanks for stopping and thanks to Kathy and Darnell for hosting wonderful challenges! Now, let's see your coloring and your unused stuff. Happy crafting!!

Linda, you've picked my favorite colors to play with for this gorgeous card. I love those blooms and your coloring is fabulous.
What a beautiful stamp this is Linda and what gorgeous colours you've used to bring it to life! Have a lovely weekend! Vicky x
Beautiful colouring, especially getting in those nooks and crannies. I have this stamp and it is a large image, but nice to colour.
It was Kathy’s 30 day coloring challenge that I learned how to colour. Good luck on the challenge.
What gorgeous and lovely flowers, Linda! I love the colors, and you did a great job of shading and highliting! An A7 card fits the image and the sentiments perfectly. The matte and the card base in matching colors are nice touches!

can't beat copics for beautiful coloring and your card is esceptionally lovely - actually my my favorite nooks and crannies are in english muffins!!
what beautifully coloured flowers Linda. Good on you to take part. Hope you can get some done every day.
A beautiful image and a beautiful sentiment, Linda - nicely done!
your coloring is absolutely fabulous on this beautiful card!
It's no wonder that floral spray is so impressive ~ it's very large! You really brought it to life by your excellent coloring, Linda! I think you did a splendid job on all the little nooks and crannies! And I love the layout with the sediments in both corners for balance. Keep well and thank you for sharing again at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous!!
I love that stamp set, but doubt I'll ever attempt using Copics to color it! This is beautiful, Linda!
Gorgeous card and gorgeous coloring on the large floral spray. Love it. TFS
