Sorry about the dark picture, it is a wet, rainy day here today! Mercy has come up with another wonderful sketch this week. I had hoped to get to it sooner, but with the kids off school from Wednesday through Sunday, stamping time has been cut short. The image for this sketch is one I wanted to use no matter what. Ever have that happen to you?? No other image would do, and it's not like I'm short on images LOL! Before I coloured it I dug through my Costco DP pack and came across this DP. It is a bit out of my comfort zone as I tend to go with the softer less busy DPs but the orange and red are wonderful colours for the flowers so it was a go. I coloured it with Twinkling H2Os (I'm going to take them to my grave if I don't start using them more LOL!) and I filled in the stamens with a black fine tipped pen so they would stick out a bit more. The sentiment is a wonderful Wordsworth stamp (just love the script on their sentiment stamps!) and I cheated a bit on the sketch as I omitted the portion where the heart is and opted for two bows on the ends of the sentiment panel instead. When the whole thing was done, the DP seemed more subdued and I am quite happy with it on this card.
Have a wonderful day!

wow! I think this is my favourite card of yours!! The flowers remind me of poppies!! And I love the font of your sentiment...paper is fabulous and love the little bows...this is over the top eye candy!! Two more reports to go, print them at work tomorrow, reread and edit and then hopefully hand them in Weds...that's the plan :) Always feels so good when they're done!!
