Hi all,
Sorry this is so late Francie! I'v4e been making 100 trading cards for most of the week for an event I'm leaving for today!!!
I wanted to do this card for Francie before I left because there will be a new Feathured Stamper when I get back.
Francie has been such a great friend and does such colorful cards always (and I LOVE that). I had to take some time to honor her!!! She also helps me make samples for the F4A challenge when it is my turn.
You can see that I think she is phenomenal like my sentiment says!(the reason I used that sentiment, BTW).
This is the card I got my inspiration from sort of: IC488 Watercolor class bg test by f.schles at Splitcoaststampers
and this one: Dreaming of a MISTI by f.schles at Splitcoaststampers
My gel pen does not work well however.
I did use some of Francie's favorite colors I think...Butterscotch, Wild Plum and Stream. I forgot to emboss the panel (that is why I said sort of!). Dang...always in too much of a hurry plus I forget so fast after looking!
I have pollen floating around and down from the flowers (I should have added a bee too!).
This is rather plain jane but I hope you like it anyway Francie dear sweetie.
Congratulations dear friend!
Thanks for looking!

If I didn't see your name, I would have thought Francie made this card herself. You NAILED her colors and style, Robin. Really a lovely tribute to our artistic SCS friend.

I JUST LOVE IT!!! I only have one complaint... I wish that I had made something this beautiful. The colors are fabulous, and the flecks of pollen are a wonderful design touch. What fun whimsical flowers, and to create such a fabulous card while making 100 ATCs is over the top incredible. Thank you so much, dear friend. I am so touched by your kind words.

Robin, this is so in keeping with Francie's style! You've touched on her uniqueness for bold and bright colors. It's a wonderful compliment to her and to your skill sets. Just beautiful.
