New, to me, designer

Hey friends. I hope you had a great day. Ok so I have a confession to make. I really want to learn how to make beautiful cards that have limited coloring. I find it so difficult. Don't get me wrong I love coloring and I adore people images, but I see all of these gorgeous cards without a lot of coloring and I want to do it too. lol  So, my plan was to start the new year trying to develop my skills in these types of cards, well I stumbled upon Sherri Baldy's Facebook page and that plan went out the window. lol Her images are so darn cute I had to color a couple up. I am not giving up though. lol So here is my card for today.
