For a little extra color in the center of the blooms I added a violet Inktense pencil by Derwent. They are fun water soluble pencils that can be blended with water or Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits). They are not translucent like watercolor pencils. I airbrushed the background with a little blue, double matted it and finished it off with a scored kraft card. Finished size is 4.5 x 6.25.

Great job Miriam! Wouldn't being a full time gardener be lovely? I'd have to throw in a few hours of knitting and reading to get my back straigtened out! Good luck with your butterfly bush! I have 3 now! My advice - don't bother with the off-color ones (like yellow) - they are too sensitive!
I agree, Miriam! I would love to fiddle around in the garden more, too. This card is beautiful - your coloring is fantastic!
Beautiful... I can almost smell the flowers.
Very very beautiful and so elegant too!
Miriam, I so envy your gardening ability. My thumb is about the same color as that kraft card stock you used! Gorgeous pairing of the kraft with the purple!
