I LOVE coloring Flourishes images. Marcella adds crosshatching so you know exactly where to add some shading. Got to love it when stamps make it easy!
I created this card for the Midnight Madness sketch challenge as well as Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. No embellishments. Ouch....that's hard. So I used an extra big image. I LOVE the new seed package set. How cool is it that you can frame all your big flower/veggie/fruit stamps.
Thanks for looking. Hugs and smiles

Beate, so glad to see you upload for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I LOVE that Flourishes image and you colored it so well. I didn't know about the cross hatching to make it easier to see where to shade. I'll have to remember that. Your raspberries are gorgeous and it worked perfect with your border framing. With the gorgeous image and framing, you really don't need to add anything else!! Awesome job!
Thanks SO MUCH for joining the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can come play with us again next week.
Hugs
