How long does it take to color a beagle?? 8 months. A talented 14 year old drew this and was extremely happy that I asked for it. It sat here since February challenging me. It took 7 months and 3 weeks to talk myself into "just do it." Three more days to agonize over it and another 4 to actually do it. She is thrilled when she sees one of her drawings on a card for her. So this is a tribute to Brianna and a birthday card for her. I did resist the urge to embellish the card front and opted to let her artwork shine. Thank you Bri, for an outstanding image!

Talent runs in the family! This turned out beautifully, Nancy. Yes, I'd look at it (at least) that long since it is a one of a kind image - can't just pull out the stamp and re-ink it. Bri will be thrilled to death.

I read your description before I saw your card, I couldn't wait to see it. Oh wow Nancy I could sit and look at this for the longest time. Your colouring is pure perfection and Brianna's drawing is incredible. What a fabulous way to start my day....seeing you in the gallery my friend.

The agonizing payed off! This is awesome, and I know she'll be thrilled! What talented grandkids you've got - they must take after their grandmother!

Oh what a treat to see a beauttifully colored "Nancy card" in the gallery. You and Brianna make quite a team. She drew such a terrific image of the dog...full of fun and personality. I always enjoy your colored pencil work and your signature stitching. Hugs sweet friend...looking forward to your Christmas tag in the gallery soon.
