This card is for today's color challenge from Maura. We are having a benefit Sunday for our neighbor friend. For the silent auction, I made up a basket of things from Door County---chocolates, wine, dried cherries, and some home made cards. Keeping with the area's theme, went with the beach scene. This image is from an old book from years ago when doing pen and ink pictures. Scanned from the book, and made it the size needed. Things sure have improved through the years...use to trace with a light box or used carbon paper. Colored the image with inkpads, scored the stripes. This also fits for the monthly fan club challenge---slant. TFL

I'm I understanding that you sketched the original? I've always been in love with your amazing coloring skills, this is just fantastic, and your design is awesome. I would love to be where I could bid on the basket!!

Linda, this is fantastic. You have so much talent. I'm so glad you could scan this from your past drawings. Why don't you get some of your drawings made into stamps????? Your coloring is gorgeous.
