Before I go into details about my card today, I wanted to share another boo boo. The PPA blog candy I posted last week, is for this week, not the week previous. I am so sorry if this created any problems. So to make up for that error, I will offer blog candy today and all you have to do is comment below. Okay, this makes my third mistake and I hope I'm done making them! They say if you make the 4th one, it won't end until you have 7. I don't think I want to deal with that!
This is a free downloadable image that I found and since I love Poppies I thought how pretty it would be in colored pencils. I'm really trying to learn to leave highlights in my coloring. That is just so hard for me to do. I end up with none and usually have to "erase them in". *smile* 
I couldn't find any DSP that I liked with my image so I decided a Garden Green border with an MS punch was enough. I don't know the name of this punch. I added a bit of retired Tangerine Tango Ribbon as an accent.
Ready for the blog candy… instead of me giving you something old that you probably already have, I am giving away a $20 Stampin' Up Gift Certificate, only available thru me.

Carla, sounds to me like you are overworked! We all make mistakes. Your card is beautiful and if you erased....can't tell from here. Great job on the coloring!
WOW...you did a wonderful job coloring this Carla!...and I think this will "officially" be your last mistake!...although I don't care what you share...it's all gorgeous! {SMILES}

Shading or no Shading all your colorings are just beautiful, no one would ever notice!!! You my dear, could make a 'cow pile' look good!!!! *big smiles*
Carla,
I really like your card the image is gorgeous and you colored it beautifully. Love the 3 little blings at the top, the touch of ribbon and one of my "fav" embossing folder is perfect for the flower. I'm sure this (although I don't see it as a mistake) "oops" moment is done and finished!
This image is so pretty and I think your coloring is very well done. I like the border along the side too. It's nice to hear that others make 'oops' too!
I love this card. Very pretty.
Oh I love this card...the coloring is so rich. Just beautiful. Great blog candy, thanks for the chance to win.

Gorgeous coloring! Wowzers. Those flowers are just stunning!
Lovely card, as usual! I think your work is exquisite and I keep many of them for inspiration.
Carla - you did a beautiful job coloring in those poppies - I have major trouble with shading myself. I keep forgetting to think about the light source!. Love your blog - you make gorgeous projects.

Oh I think your card is beautiful. The colors are so vibrant, just like poppies! You did a great job.

OHMYGOSH! I was so happy to see your post. I always find so much inspiration from your work and today was no exception. I wish I could get my colored flowers to look that gorgeous! And I love the orange too - that's not a color I work with often.
It's so nice to know that I'm not the only one making mistakes (wink).
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
You are the queen of flowers! These are gorgeous! Beautiful card!
Great job coloring......my coloring needs alot of work...LOL. Thanks so much for sharing. Poppies are such an August flower.

Wow! Your Poppy card is just stunning! I really love the highlights you have created! Wish I could accomplish that! TFS!
I love it. I have done so many water colors of Poppies. It is neat. If you did it with water color pencils the color with the water leaves some nice highlights. It is also easy to “Lift” or use more water on a clean brush and wipe out color.

LOVELY Amiga! You did great in highlighting...No need for DSP your focal image is FA-BU and Garden Green is my FAVORITE-well any green for that matter and it looks GREAT with the T Tango.
I don't often comment because I figure you have better things to do than ready my ramblings but I must comment today because I'd love to win your blog candy!
What a perfect idea!
Those poppies are gorgeous! I love the color selection and the way you highlighted them. Scrapbooksrme@aol.com will be trying to find the poppies.

What an inspirational card to wake up to this morning! I'll have to look thru my stash of border punches and see what beauties I might have hidden away that I've forgotten about.
The color is striking on the poppies. And the ribbon packs that added punch. Beautiful!!
