Judy's challenge today....use a digital image. Not all digis are created equal. Some are very detailed, and some are very simple lines. Their are many pros to digital. You can resize them to any size, create backgrounds, look for a certain image to personalize a card. My card today is using Power Poppy digi...they are very nice to work with, very detailed. Printed it on water color paper...my printer will take a lighter weight paper. You need to cut the paper to 8.5 x11 to fit into printer tray...my printer anyway needs this size. After printing...let air dry or heat set it with your heating tool. I water colored the image, and added white acrylic dots with my stylus. With my fountain pen went over the word Sunshine to make it stand out just a bit. You can mass produce a card once you have it made on the computer. Used my MDS to do this card.This size also fits in a long business envelope. TFL

I love the gorgeous depth of colour you achieved on those petals! As someone else said the light wash around them really serves to tie the composition together and makes the sentiment stand out too. I will have to try a lighter WC paper in my printer. Had to go with CS because of jamming. Love this longer format too!

Oh my goodness Linda how did I miss this stunning card when it was loaded. This is spectacular. I do love the added acrylic paint with your stylus. I tried doing that once and think I had too much paint on mine as I ended up with giant dots. I need to try again. Stunning card!
