Daffodils with Inner Glow

     This card was inspired by a challenge to use white colored pencil on kraft card stock. I tried stamping flowers with black ink; then using white colored pencil over it as was recommended for the challenge. This was NOT working for me. I just couldn't get a product that I was happy with. I decided to try something a little different. I first colored with white colored pencil then colored over top of that.

     I did not use a heavy hand with the coloring, leaving some of the white peek through.
