Korin gave us a lovely sketch today. I did alter it in one way in that I did not put the horizontal panel over my image, but put it behind like a side tab.

This is definitely a beauty. Again, the depth of your coloring is so gorgeous. I like that the vase isn't centered on the paper, the distressing/sponging, tab and my favorite...guess???? The twine. Great job.

Beautiful image, Sallie, and wonderful colors. I love how your blue striped bg complements the blue stripes on that wonderful water pitcher. The twine is perfect with the EF (which is one of my favorites - I never tire of it). Such a lovely card!

Gorgeous card! Your sunflowers are picture perfect (and I know..I buy them almost every weekend at the Farmer's Market). Your burlap looking paper and the rustic twine are perfect for "framing" this image.
Love your coloring of the sunflowers-they look so real. The burlap is a great touch. Love the country feeling of this card.

Your coloring is brilliant!!! I LOVE your amazing coloring and shading skill!!! The sunfowers are glorious! Having the blue striped background really makes them pop and the burlap is perfect for added texture! So BEAUTIFUL!!!
