Roxi, loved this sketch! I changed the main image panel to an oval, but kept the rest 'almost' true to form! This is a 'get well' for a co worker who had a fall. The inside is from SU's Warm Wishes and reads 'Smile", which is what Penny needs right now. I stamped the tree from Thoughts and Prayers in Mellow Moss, and used an SU Choc Chip marker to go over the trunk and branches before stamping onto watercolor paper. The fore ground is made by sponging and stamping Watercolor minis over the top.
Thanks for looking!

This is such a pretty card. I love the paper that looks like a field of beautiful wild flowers and the picket fence is perfect with this. Then topped off with your gorgeous tree, that little watercolor mini stamp always transforms your plain images into a masterpiece instantly recognised as another Pat Smethers work of Art. Wow sis love love love it!
