Teal Flowers with Aqua

At a recent meeting of my card making group, I borrowed a floral stamp set, and today I enjoyed using my Copic markers to color its daisy image for a sympathy card.  

 Card details:

• Card stock is Neenah solar white and Papertrey Ink (PTI) tropical teal and aqua mist.
• Embossing folder for the white and aqua card stock is Stampin' Up (SU) subtle (retired).
• The sentiment "with sympathy" is from PTI peaceful garden (retired), and the flowers and dotted line are from SU helping me grow (retired).  They are stamped with Memento London fog ink, which works well with Copic markers.
