I have had this stamp for quite a while - a clearance find. I realized in order to make it look really the way I wanted, I was going to have to color it with markers and then stamp. Then in order to square the image because the sketch was two squares, I stamped the edge of the frame again. Should have left off that edge the first time but didn't think of it. But with the line in the dsp adding another element, I think it works. The edge of the sunflower is cut loose from the panel and popped up on dimensionals.

So pretty! Love the "out of the box" technique and the depth it adds. I love to sing like nobody's listening, just when nobody really is listening;))!!

Pat, this is beautiful! Your stamping was perfect .......just the right amount to look real.. I love the bit of Asian touch and the lovely yellow flower. The sentiment is great and I do sing like that ...........in the shower.

Pat, this looks like you water colored it. Like how you partially cut out the flower. All the elements compliment each other. The green cord was a nice addition. Tfs

Beautiful. Love how you colored the stamp and made the impression. Well done! The background texture adds a wonderful element. The ribbon and twine are a creative way to use the sketch. Very nicely done. Beautiful colors. TFS

Beautiful card Pat! I love how you colored the stamp and made the impression. I'm glad you left the border, I think it works great, especially because of how you popped up the sunflower.
Hugs & Well Wishes :O)
