Sometimes things just come together, don't they? I need a birthday card for my sister Janet, 58 years old on April 29, and I had already done this pansy panel because I'm trying to challenge myself to color more. I have never loved coloring, even as a child; it is not a go-to technique. I think I'm too impatient, don't like to putz.
I had some fun coloring this old, wood mounted PSX pansy stamp after I stamped and heat embossed in the black. I didn't really worry about authenticity of colors and I do like the whole array of pansy colors. I am looking forward to having a pot of pansies, although right now, it is snowing in SE WI. It isn't sticking to the sidewalks but the green grass is pretty well covered. No point in complaining but I'm thinking of playing some Christmas music. Ho ho ho.
For today's TLC, faux tearing, I used three Distress inks in three layers, just moving the masking paper down a bit. Thanks to Lee and Lyn for the combo of challenges!
My sister and I are almost 12 years apart. Not much in common back then but now, the years don't matter. In fact, sometimes I feel like she wants to be the older sister. Much more of an 'in charge' person. We are opposite in many things, except where it really counts.

Pansies are a flower with a lot of personality in my view. Yours are no exception! I love your colouring of this great PSX image. I think you have captured the range of colours they grow in beautifully! That torn edge grounding is very clever too!
