Here is my version of the Black Eyed Susan of Encouragement. My image is colored with copic marker. I used K & Company Tom Coffey papers. The corners and leave are Sizzx dies and I used the Cherry Blossom punch around the page by Martha Stewart. The accent flowers are one of the dies from the Carnation Creation from Spellbinders. I used some buttons for the centers that I had in my stash. I also used a sharpie to draw the accent on the flower to match the ones in the image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you comments. Good luck in the drawing!
