CC705 Happy Wishes

Photo Details

Poster: Kathy LeDonne

This card is for today's Color Challenge. These were a real challenge to me. I stamped the Happy greeting and colored it. I added some Starlight Gel pen to the word for a bit of shine. I sponged, then stenciled and added some flowers and leaves. Leaves and ferns were hand drawn since I did not have any stamps the size I needed. I am not sure how I feel about the end result.

Great job on the hand drawn leaves and ferns they look like you stamped them! The stenciled background looks perfect too!

Your card is absolutely gorgeous Kathy; I would never know by looking at this that you struggled with the colors. I adore the brick sponging you did in the background because that highlights your flower and sentiment images perfectly! I love everything about this card! ~Karen.

You're silly. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's lovely and wow...the ferns and leaves are hand drawn. Awesome.

Kathy, this is so nicely designed, with your pretty hand drawn flowers (so impressed!!!) and ferns against the brick, and showcasing the sentiment! This is a lovely card and I'm so glad you joined the CC this week!

I like the end result Kathy- the stenciled background so the perfect backdrop for your flowers, leaves and ferns- and hand drawn to boot
