Pam's color challenge this week is Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder and Soft Sky. This card actually started back during Christmas vacation. I gifted my three granddaughters a coloring portfolio called Fashion Angels.Yes, Grandma bought one for herself...everyone needs a toy at Christmas. It shows you how to draw fashion from the body image to all the different styles of clothing, hair, shoes etc. Reminded me of paper dolls. They also show you how to create texture with pencil. Sketching the girl using graph paper....added the other features with a pencil. Scanned it, and now have a digital image. Colored with watercolor pencils and micron pen. Lastly added the sentiment. Sad to say, but all three granddaughters are not able to read cursive. We need to show them it is an art to do cursive writing. TFL

YOu always amaze me with the progress you make artistically!! I love your sketch, and the way you added the calligraphy. My grandfather used to do all the diplomas for colleges and high schools on the East Coast, and I loved to watch him with his inks and nibs. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories. (Every year on my B'day and Christmas, I received a book, and he always added the calligraphy. I treasure them!!)

She's gorgeous.....love your coloring and sketch lines and your cursive sentiment! I have to admit I have been very sloppy with my hand writing! Seems always in a hurry and scribble! Beautiful card!
