Lisa's challenge this week is to use print from books or anything with print. This is one of my favorite techniques. The print used in this card is from a magazine. Painted the flower with acrylic paints, added the sponging. With a dip pen and ink, wrote the sentiment. Added wink of stella to the flower. TFL

Linda, this is over-the-top spectacular! The hand painted flower is phenomenal and your calligraphy- WOW! Time for me to pull it out and start practicing! You will never need another sentiment stamp! Fabulous, Linda!

Here I was looking to see where you got that lovely sentiment - and then realised that it is hand done - spectacular. Love the painted flower as well. Such a pretty card.

Those acrylic paints really brought this flower to life over the printed page. You're so good with that dip pen and ink. Beautiful card! Another card of yours to fave.

Wow, Linda, you continually inspire me to go beyond the bounds of my style. That is evident in this beautiful take on the challenge. I love that blossom and your hand scripted greeting.
This one in into my favs...for further pondering.

Oh, Linda, your hand-painting is amazing, and I LOVE your penned sentiment! I've so admired hand-lettering and only wish I could do it (I know that it takes practice, and perhaps someday I shall try it). It truly adds a truly personal touch, and I love the added embossing! Stunning card! Hugs! xoxo
