Fabulous Flowers

Hey Everyone!....

Just a quick post here.... I just wanted to upload these pictures in order to enter this card into the current Hero Arts Challenge for the month of May. This month's theme is "Fabulous Flowers" and we also have the option of incorporating coloring techniqes using colored pencils. 

I used both a flower image, as well as colored pencils for my card. Hope you guys enjoy it! 

It's been sooo long since I've had the chance to play along with a challenge other than my usual DT work. I miss it SO much. However, things have still been kinda hectic for me lately, and it doesn't help that all of my craft supplies are currently being kept at my parents' house. So it makes it harder to just be able to sit down and craft whenever I wish.

Anyways... things will eventually get organized... slowly, but surely. LoL

I also just wanted to thank everyone who continues to stop by my blog and those who leave such sweet comments. I LOVE each and every one of them, and I feel so bad that I have been such a terrible commentor lately! :( My Google Reader is currently over-flowing big time, at the moment and I hate it. But I truly appreciate those who read my posts and take the time to leave such kind words. Your visits totally make my day!
