Daily Marker Color Challenge

So to kick my butt in gear a little, I decided to participate in the 30 Day Color Challenge over at The Daily Marker.  I thought it would be a fun way to usher in spring (if it EVER stops snowing).

Day 1 was today so I got my red Spectrum Noir markers out and colored this lovely rose image from Newton's Nook Designs "Love Grows" stamp set.  Reds are always so challenging to color with, but I was happy with the way it turned out.

Now since I had the lovely rose, I had to make a card with it, so I decided on a 4 1/2 inch square card using the the other images in the stamp set.  Of course I added some shimmer with my trusty Wink of Stella.  I think I may have to get a new one soon!  Don't want to be left "Stella-less"!
