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 certainly took to the lessons, Linda; your drawing is amazing! Of course, your coloring is fantastic, as always, and your sentiment is so beautifully done. I agree, it's terribly sad that cursive isn't taught in school anymore.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'll have to look up this portfolio. And I heard on the news that some schools are thinking of bringing cursive writing back into their curriculums.

Fabulous job in every way, Linda. It is so hard to believe children aren't learning cursive in school. My son said they are teaching it to their son at home, thankfully.

Wow! This is amazing - you sketch and right so well. What are we going to do with these generations now not able to read cursive? Scary in a way. Your coloring is gorgeous as always, Linda. Hugz
