Paint Party Friday - Flowers

Greeting Card scan

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! I did a flowered greeting card on textured yellow cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). I started drawing mistakenly on the white envelope first, so I decided to post it as well.  I used a Pilot extra fine gold permanent pen for the outlines.  Unfortunately the scans don't do justice to the pinks I used.

I just had an idea to give this card to my friend on the occasion of her 60th birthday which happens to be today!
