Saturated Canary Spring card

Hi crafty friends, today I've created a card with a gorgeous Saturated Canary image, this is the first time I have coloured her and it was such fun. I made her very large so I could fussy cut her out and make her the stand out of the card. This card is so sparkly in real life as the papers have sparkly butterflies and flowers all over it but I just couldn't get my camera to translate that onto the photo.
