What a nice simple sketch to-day. The image is an old one from SU.. Flower Garden hostess set (2004) stamped on a piece of brown paper bag and coloured with black and white prismacolour pencils only and OMS. This technique is very easy when you use a highly detailed image because it tells you where to colour! Mindless!! The greeting is from Close To My Heart. I used a cuttlebug folder and stamped the crackle background in Sahara sand and distressed with frayed burlap.

Oh pshaw...easy! Your shading is pure artistry on this flower! I wouldn't even know where to start with the pencil and the OMS. Love the crackle background behind the swiss dot..genius! Oh and BTW you have MUCH nicer brown paper bags than I do!!! That background is so rich looking... oh...I just figured out you crackled it too!!! MORE genius!!!
