Miss Belle's 2025 Birthday Card

 I hand drew some orchids for my lovely friend & 2nd Mom, Miss Belle.

She used to grow orchids, but she couldn't keep them up because of her health.

She lives in Florida and her orchids grew outside.

They were truly stunning & magnificent!

Although my drawing abilities are a bit 'elementary', 

I just decided that this year's cards for my friends would be their 

favorite flower in their favorite color.

I don't know Miss Belle's favorite color, but pink reminds me of her.

I colored them with the following colored pencils:

>Prismacolor PC 1014 Deco Pink (flowers)

>Prismacolor PC 930 Magenta (flower accents & veining)

>Faber-Castell Polychromos 108 Dk Cadmium Yellow (stamen)

>Faber-Castell Polychromos 107 Permanent Green Olive (dark long leaves)

>Faber-Castell Polychromos 170 May Green (stems)

>Prismacolor PC1012 Jasmine (buds)

>Prsimacolor PC1005 Limepeel (buds)

The background is Faber-Castell Mini Pastels in a light blue & pretty pink,

applied with a makeup sponge wedge.

Thanks for dropping by and have a blessed day!
