I have long been an admirer of Joan Ervin and though I seldom see or get to play in Sunday's featured stamper challenge, I did catch last week's but it took me so very long to put this together (Hah!! What else is new?!!). By Wed., I had Roxie's sketch to go with the idea and here is my case of this cheery delight of this card of Joan's: SC225 Special Friends by joan ervin at Splitcoaststampers. I was inspired by her reds, yellows and greens and kept the bright flowers though mine aren't sunflowers. After being thoroughly inspired by Lisa Kind and Cheryl Rowley at the WNY SCS gathering, I finally braved using my copics again and colored this pail and flowers up with them. The lined paper bg was kinda bare but provided perfect setup to draw in my Aa,Bb,Cc's!!

Wow, what a gorgeous card! I love your coloring (braving the Copics again? Nice job!) and all the details in this card. I have looked through your gallery and it is definitely inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to share such kind words on my card, I really appreciated it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Oh heavens, this is wonderful. Not sure why you weren't using your copics but I am glad you are using them again - don't stop. I haven't been in the gallery in months but I am so glad I came in and found this card. Bright, cheerful and so full of great details.
