When Mark's Finest released their Black-Eyed Susan set, I just had to get it, even though it's a tough-to-color (for me) floral set. And the day it arrived in my mailbox, I stamped and colored it.
It took an hour and twenty minutes.
It was worth it. Those flowers make me happy.
The coloring was done with Bic/Sharpie/Copic markers on Gina K deluxe white card stock. The sentiment panel has a V cut onto the right side, but it's hard to see in the photo.
If I get to feeling color-y, I'll make a whole set using MFP floral sets with this layout. Wouldn't that be a nice gift set for my mom for Christmas.
Supplies
stamps: Mark's Finest Papers
ink: Memento
paper: Gina K
accessories: assorted markers

Amazing colouring. I love those flowers too and my name's not Susan. My grandma used to have Black Eyed Susans covering her front fence. It was a high fence, so it was impressive.
Oh, my, that's a pretty card. An hour and 20 minutes, huh? Well, I gotta' tell you it was worth it. Those Black-eyed Susans are positively gorgeous. Worth every minute. Your mom would love a set for Christmas. You'd better start NOW.
Your coloring is amazing. I cannot imagine spending an hour and 20 minutes coloring a card, but your patience certainly paid off!
Despite your protestations, this is a beautifully coloured card! As Sue said, totally worth the time.
I think it is lovely, Susan
oohlala...I'm swooning over this beauty Susan!

p.s. i might have to order this set as i also LOVE black eyed susans!
Lovely card and wonderful coloring! And yes... a set of cards made with MFPs flowers would be a perfect gift. I've been wanting to order several of their flower sets. I've seen some beautiful cards made with them on their blog hops.
I love it! I know what you about it being worth that much time. When I make a card I don't mind if it took a ridiculous amount of time as long as I'm pleased with the result. (After all I must admit, I make cards more for my enjoyment of the process rather than for the enjoyment of the intended recipient. Hmmm...does that make me sound bad? ;-) )
As a fellow Susan, I too love Black-Eyed Susans and your card really did them justice - worth every minute of your colouring time!
One would never know that it is tough for you to color, this is gorgeous.
Beautiful coloring! It was worth every minute! I can't wait to see the other flowers in the set.
My brother is named Bill and has Sweet William in the yard. His partner is named Susie and has Black-Eyed Susans.
Where oh where are the Nicole flowers??
