Hello my friends - thanks for dropping by!
It may be generally known that I'm not a fan of the color blue - but the blue-green family is quite pleasing to my eye! Turquoise is such a gorgeous color, it deserves to be celebrated for our 60th at The Flower Challenge!
I started by Googling turquoise, and was brought to a gorgeous photo of the actual stone in its natural state which showed the many depths of its color. Which is what I've attempted to capture in my Copic coloring today, using a few of the BG family of Copics.
Pinkfresh Studio: Miss Your Smile - stamped in CP Twilight ink; fussy cut
Embellished with PF Jewels
Adhered to a panel embossed with my Stampin' Up Subtle Texture
There are so many ways to use the featured color: water coloring, card stock, pencil coloring - the list is endless! Just be sure it is a flower you're featuring on your card! Let's go see all the beautiful examples at The Flower Challenge blog - my teammates always make such gorgeous samples! Bonus to have a wonderful guest, Kailash! @kailashcrafts on IG! You won't want to miss a single one of her fabulous creations! See you in the gallery?

I think you've captured the color of that stone perfectly, Michele this is gorgeous!
**GASP** Almost fell off my chair (which would never happen because my butt's too heavy) when I saw this exquisite, glorious dahlia...in turquoise. The color is just like the color in my necklace. Your shading and the way you've played with shadows is remarkable. Then there's the cutting...I can't even... Suffice it to say, this is absolutely stunning.
Stunning card, Michele. Once again I'm blown away by your colouring, Jo x
You ROCKED the Copic coloring on these flowers. They are GORGEOUS!!!
You really have achieved an amazing depth with your brilliant colouring. This card is fantastic. The lightly textured background and those little pearls are the perfect finishing touches xx
Wow, this is stunning, Michele! Turquoise flowers are such a cool look and I love the use of that Subtle EF in the background - honestly I think I use that folder on 2/3 of my cards these days!
Oh what you can do with five markers! Your flowers are fabulous!
Simply gorgeous, Michele. You blow me away time and again with your cards. Fantastic coloring and card composition. Wow.
Truly gorgeous! I really admire your COPIC skills, thank you for sharing, Michele!

I have had my eye on Miss Your Smile for a while, and now you have done it again. I so love your coloring and love that you colored It to replicate the depths of color in the stone itself. Beautiful job. I love this so much!

I didn't know you could get such a light color with Copics, Michele. You've added wonderful shading and highlights to those flowers. The image size is perfect for a slimline card. Beautiful!
Gosh! This is so gorgeous!
