So, I must say that this is is not my favorite coloring job. It is a result of the growth I am experiencing learning to watercolor with distress ink. I added to the challenge by limiting my color selection to black/gray and hot pink.
In the coloring of her dress, I added some greens and blues to add some dimension to the black.
The inside of the card will say "You make my heart sing" (for my hubby).
I took this closeup picture with the sun shining on the card, trying to pick up some of the shimmer. I added some Twinkling H2O's to the sash and shoes. I also added Stickles for the ear rings. It is so hard to capture glimmer and glitz.
This card was a little stretch for me because it does not really have any extras, no flowers, no brads, no ribbon. I wanted to make it simple to focus on the image. The embellishments are built into the papers (Rock Star - DCWV).
Thanks for looking. I hope you will join me Monday in our Magnoli-licious Blog Hop. Have a great weekend!

Julie - what a lovely card to give your husband! It is so romantic. I think your colouring is fine and you know, it takes a couple of times when learning before we like the things we make - would love to see more of your technique.
