Okay...my card.
I have been trying out different papers to use with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and odorless white spirits e.g. Gamsol. A paper with tooth is need for these pencils as a smooth paper is no good for blending. The paper I used here is from a Derwent Visual Art Diary. As Derwent are an oil based pencil too I thought okay this paper must be good. It is 110 gram weight. It seems to be quite good. I think the problem is me and my blending so my coloring is not as good as I would like. Also when I stamped this image it wasn't stamped very good but I used it anyway and made a card with it.

Hi Maz! First of all... I think your Tilda is colored beautifully!!! You have great shading and highlights and her hair is fabulous! Love how perfectly she matches the dp and that flower is amazing! I'm so sorry you are going through this season of pain and trial... waiting is just the worst! I pray you can feel His tender touch and comfort though as you wait this out and will be praying for you Maz!!!
HI Maz! This card is precious. I love how you used the same delightful paper to make your flowers and placed the images of the flowers so appropriately! I'm proud of you girl, for not wasting an image and good paper but being frugal and using what you had!! :-)
Your coloring is soft and pretty and boy, you nailed the shading on those pleats! Very pretty card. Big prayers going up for you as you wait on the end of the month to arrive!
Big, big BIG hugs,
Barb
Hi Maz,
I'm so sorry to hear you've had more health issues, I'm thinking positive that it is only scar tissue.
I think you've done a magnificent job on colouring this gorgeous Tilda, I love everything about this card.
Many hugs.....Baukje
Maz you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you wait for the end of the month. Praying all will go well for you.
Your card is beautiful! Love your colors and your coloring looks wonderful to me.
Maz your card is absolutely beautiful! Where can I start!?! First of all I love the colors and the paper you have used. Secondly, your flower is really a wowzer a hundred times over. I love the way you have framed Tilda and this image is one of my favorites! The pink is such a nice touch. This card should win first place anywhere you go dear heart. I love it!

What a beautiful job you have done coloring her! And your layout is wonderful!
Rene :D
So sorry to hear your health isn't what it should be and that you are probably stressing about that. So not nice. I'm glad you can escape that for awhile through your cards. You are very good at it!! This card is so pretty and I absolutely LOVE your flower!! Hugs!
Really cute. I love colouring with pencils too and am still experimenting with different brands. My next brand is Faber Castell polychromatic, will buy some tomorrow. I can’t get prisma colours where I live at all so might have a look on the net.
What a gorgeous card, Maz! Your Prismacolor coloring is amazing! And I mean it! If I knew I could color like this one day I would give up markers, they are so expensive:) Gorgeous blending work and such elegant paper choice, too!
Adorable card, Maz!
I'm sorry to hear about your health issue. God helped you before so you must keep having faith. He will help you again, dear friend! Just keep being optimistic as you always are, it will only help:)
You are in my prayers, dear heart; Hugs, Iulia
Maz, Your card is just lovely! I think you did a wonderful job with the pencils. The card has so many wonderful elements. I really like the flowers, too!

I love the BG paper! I haven't been blog browsing in a while. I'm so glad that you're back to crafting.
Yes, waiting around for a month is a long time to wait. I pray that God will heal and restore your body to perfect health and that His grace will comfort you in the wait.
Blessings to you, my friend~

Hello Maz,
Wow I was so pleased to receive your lovely comment on my card and so surprised to see you're also on the Sunshine Coast. I've been taking a peak at your gorgeous cards and your colouring looks just beautiful. I would love to try colouring with distress inks as a change from copics.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
