Thanks a Zinnias Bunch.......

Hello everyone: After so many days of seeing people of all races marching together to protest and demand justice, I'm happy to see some positive changes are being achieved, but this is just the first hurdle, the race is not over, not yet.
I'm thankful for being able to express my feelings to my dear friends in this amazing card-making community, as a Mexican-American immigrant woman, I feel so blessed.
Stay healthy and safe.
God Bless Us All.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have another card I created using a stash of partially colored, unfinished images
that have been in this box way too long. Here's a picture of just a "few" of these images, my intention is to use them all.
Today's image in on the left bottom corner.


Here's my card.


This image is from a retired Flourishes set called "Zinnias", it was stamped on Canson watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The flower vase was colored with a "River Rock" SU marker, I love this color, I wonder what color comes close to it in the new collection.
The sentiments on the front and inside, are from the same set. 
********************************************************
This is the INSIDE of my card.


I want to play with the following challenges.

I'm so grateful for my friends.

I have flowers, the colors orange and green.




Thank you for visiting me today.
Stay healthy and safe.
XO
Maria.

Dang! I wish Marcy would bring this image into a new Power Poppy Stamp! It's adorable I love the ginger gar the zinnias are in! Such a pretty bouquet!

Dang, Maria, you blow my mind! All these beautiful images just waiting for cards... I love this one! It was always a favorite stamp and I remember coloring it pretty much just like this once. I dearly loved River Rock when it first came out, too. I still have the ink pad with reinker and some cardstock. I bought extra True Thyme to go with it. Now when was the last time I used either of those? I love how you designed your card. Gosh, this is so pretty!
