Flowers anyone?


At 365 Cards, the inspiration for Day 156 was an ad. I liked the color of the table and the flowers. I wish I had something to add texture like the wicker baskets below!

I had downloaded this digital stamp from Penny's blog. I wanted to use my watercolor pencils to color it, but - alas - in this sea of mess, I couldn't find them. I settled on using markers, but I'm not good at coloring, so please ignore the stroke lines from my brush tip marker. (Anyone want to offer me helpful hints on coloring?) The bee is attached with foam tape to add a little dimension. Anyhow here's my card:



Supplies: Digi stamp - Creations by Penny. All other supplies CTMH. Colors - garden green, hollyhock, honey, sunny yellow, sunkiss yellow, black, bamboo. Embellishments - clear sparkles, organdy ribbon. Tools - dauber, Cuttlebug.

  2. Nice card! Love the digi image! You are too hard on yourself about your coloring, although I'll have to say markers aren't my favorite either. Regardless, cute card! Have a great day, friend!
