Cardmaking - cards for donation featuring images on paper coloured with coloured pencils and layered

 I have been working at decluttering my creative space and in the process of cleaning out a box I found these images printed on bond paper.  They were likely found unsuitable for the project at the time and were stowed away for later use.  Unfortunately, the location was not conducive for me finding them again.  I will work on that!!  Because they were printed on bond I was hesitant to watercolour them so decided to use a dry medium  - pencil crayons  - instead.  I don't use them very often but they worked very well in this case.  

Before starting the colouring I had cut white cardstock bases, trimmed decorative papers and layers for the images so it was fairly easy to pick at colour for the flowers. It was fun to pick colours and layer them to get some shading and variation. My fingers got a workout so fortunately I did not do all the images in one day. I added paper piercing to the images, adhered them to the layers, added the backgrounds to the card fronts and then added the focal elements. I am happy with how they turned out!!!
