Colonial Williamsburg is one of my favorite places, so I was super excited when I recently found this stamp at my LSS. I thought this image would work well with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #43; the color picks this week are Lavender Lace, Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant.
I stamped my image on Lavender Lace cardstock and used SU! pastels to color my image. I didn't want to overwhelm my image so I kept things pretty simple and only added Flower Soft to my card. Talk about quick and easy!
Thanks so much for taking the time to view my card.

I have this stamp and have not used it yet. You have inspired me. I also have flower soft and SU pastels so I am going to make my card just like yours!! You did a wonderful job. Love the card.

Talk quick and easy ~ not! Whoa, this is so life like with your coloring. It's picture perfect, and with that flower soft, you've created a masterpiece, I tell you. Pat, this is just the best of the best! You're creating with the best of 'em, girl.

Wow! I just bought this stamp yesterday and wish I had seen your work, before I did mine! Your coloring is lovely and the Flower Soft is applied like a pro! I will save to fav for the future. Your work is remarkable! TFS
