Happy Saturday, peeps! Got a busy day planned, so this will be quick! I am using the Freshly Made Sketches for a birthday card…here’s the sketch:
I used an older Flourishes set, stamped it in Stazon on watercolor paper and colored it with Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz and a little Old Olive:
It’s been a while since I colored anything this large, I really enjoyed it. Since the image was fairly large, I made a custom-sized card as well as an envelope to match (which I forgot to photograph!!!). That Envelope Punch Board makes creating custom envelopes a snap! I used some retired Wisteria Wonder DP as well as some older SAB ribbon. Some pearls finished it off. Thanks for stopping by today! And be sure to stop by tomorrow for my Paper Players creation!
Coloring!!!
What a lovely card, LeAnne! That image is beautiful and your coloring is perfect! Looks like Cassidy wants to take after Grammie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Your coloring is beautiful. And it looks like Cassidy may follow in your footsteps!

Happy Saturday!
Your violets are beautiful--can't wait to see them here in real life! It's been a long winter, and we still have a lot of snow on the ground along the road and in the woods.

Sigh. I'm really gonna miss Flourishes. This set is one I'd have loved to have, but didn't act on fast enough. You've done beautiful justice to it! Maybe we'll be seeing flowers like this soon enough in our gardens, eh?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that stamp! Do you ever sell your used one's??
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card! You mentioned envelopes...what paper
ReplyDeleteDo you use? I like Paper Source text weight but would like something a little heavier.
LeAnne, this is absolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteWow, LeAnne, this is gorgeous! Your coloring of this beautiful image is fantastic! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty LeAnne! Your coloring is always so gorgeous! I wish I could color like you!
ReplyDeleteA fresh and pretty card! I love the quick and simple sketch they offered up. Sometimes you need to go quick and easy. Remember when all those big stamps were the rage? Now they seem so awkward to use, but you've done this one proud.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful violets!
ReplyDeleteOh LeAnne, this card is beautiful! Those violets look real!!!!! I just love it! Cassidy can come color with me anytime! We would have fun! XX
