I watched a tutorial by Cathy Hanes on how to make the pansy look more realistic and wow, it's worth the effort - I love this look!! It's quite a lot of steps, but totally gives a more realistic look. I love the new blending brushes - they really allow you to blend colors with excellence! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

This is beautiful Karen - love the flowers against the black and white stripes. (And I'll need to look up that tutorial - I bought this mainly for the dies!)

I said, "How Beautiful!" out loud when I saw this card, Karen! The effort you spent on the pansy really paid off, and the black/white background really makes the flower pop right off the card!

My pansy stamps and dies are due to arrive tomorrow! Just love your design! What a great idea to use the black and white striped dsp and the lacy edging as a backdrop for your pansies!!
