Beautiful colours, Carole. The black background is perfect for the flowers

So striking Carole... I love where you have placed the tiny purple rose buds...

I bought two packs of black card last year by accident ( senior moment :) ) I've tried using coloured pencil on it but didn't like the effect, now I have the answer, I'll try gouache and hope I produce something as beautiful as this.
