Here are a couple of cards that are the same… but a little different, too.
The first card uses brighter greens on the leaves, some yellows on the blooms and a small accent of black grosgrain ribbon.
A white gel pen was used to accent the flower centers and the leaves.
The second card has darker leaves, a little grunge, a little distressing and two patterns of designer paper.
As with Card 1, a white gel pen was used on the leaves and flowers. However on Card 2 a glitter pen was added to the flower centers.

Oh, Susan, what beautiful cards, and I actually have this set (yay)! I love how you’ve colored them and both layouts! Beautiful DP and great matting, distressing, and grunge on the different ones. What a great gift set this makes! Oh, you are so clever, and I definitely will have to CASE these (I am so in need of some quick and pretty cards). Hugs, sweet friend, and it’s nice to see a new post from you!
Stunning cards, Susan! And, making a set was a great idea! You can never have too many thank you cards!
You’ve worked some magic with those pretty flowers in the way you colored them! What a wonderful card set with a thoughtful sentiment too!
I think they are both absolutely beautiful. Great work. Thanks so much for playing along with our colours at Cupcake Inspirations. Deborah, DT.
Beautiful couple of cards! Your coloring is quite fabulous!
Both are so beautifully colored, I love the black accenting on the first and the color combo and the use of two different papers is a pretty touch on the second!

Susan, Both cards are so pretty, but I just love how the black on the first card just pops those lovely flowers. 🙂
