I printed this out with the colored images but I wanted my design to have brighter and bolder colors so I took my Bic alcohol markers and colored over the designs to make it match more with the colors I had in mind. I die cut the panel out with a Cutplorations die which is a division of Stamplorations. It fit perfectly to an A2 bright pink card stock base which I think gives an interesting look with the contrast of the white. And, the wonderful stitching on that die was deep enough that a slight bit of the bright pink shows through along the border. The finishing touch was to add some gems to the card front.
This digital set was one that Jan made up for the Turner Syndrome Awareness Hop which is to be held in February. Proceeds from the sale of the set goes to that charity.
Well, that is all for me today and maybe even for the weekend. I am thinking a bit of a break might be good as I have been doing a lot of card making lately. At least I managed to keep with my goal of at least two Christmas cards a week. I wasn't sure I would make it. That is the only New Year's resolution I made again this year.
Enjoy your weekend and until next time take care. Thanks for visiting.
God bless,
Verna

Gorgeous card, Verna. Very clever idea to use the white on the front of a pink card blank. Just scrolled down to see the other beautiful cards you've posted today - you HAVE been busy. xx
Great idea to enhance the colored image like this! It turned out fantastic!
SO pretty, Verna! Love it! Jan has some great images!
Very cheerful, colorful card, Verna!! Reminds me of a spring day!
Loving the vibrant colours on this fabulous card Verna. The pink card base is perfect

I love this fairytale looking card. You really made a nice addition by adding your own coloring.
Hi, Verna! Isn't Jan's set beautiful for the Turner Syndrome Awareness foundation? I especially like your colored version with the coordinating flower and butterfly, and dancing jewels. Beautifully done! So happy I got to see your creation at Jan’s Digi Stamp Challenges . Thanks for the inspiration, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.

Very bright and beautiful! It is a neat idea to use the die cut panel over the pink cardstock. I’m not sure if I am imagining I can see the pink through the stitched lines? That is a good idea!
Beautiful and bright! Loving that Cutplorations die! I was looking for something bigger than my Memory Box die and I think this will foot the bill! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the bold colors on your card. Adding color to the already colored images is a great idea to customize it a bit. It's cool how you can see the pink through the faux stitched border.
You've been busy making cards! Have a great weekend.
Oh, how beautiful! I am delighted to see a Jan's Digital Stamp entered in the challenge. Thanks so much for linking up at JDS Challenges. Julie, DT member
This is just stunning with those beautiful colors and design! The sparkle of the gems takes this one over the top!
I love the beautiful colors on your card. It really is lovely!
Beautifully done! I love how you accented the printed image with your Bic markers. The images really pop!!!
This is so bright and bold and very cheery. I like those bright colors. Making two Christmas cards a week is such a great idea, you will be so far ahead of the game come Christmas. Good for you.

Love the sentiment on your pretty card! The colours you added really add to the design.
Excellent coloring Verna and a beautiful card! I don't do much digi stamping yet anyway!
Oh Verna! You did a lovely job coloring up this beautiful card! I haven't tried to use the key on that stamp set, I have used the butterfly, but the key just seems so hard! Your card is beautiful! Thank you for purchasing that stamp set!!
Lovely coloring - great color combo too
