Hi all,
I colored this yesterday for the color challenge but couldn't finish it...lucky me...it is just right for the sketch challenge. Instead of a border at the bottom I used a bit of fancy lace.
There was so much empty space (that people like me have a hard time with) so I decided to emboss it and add Liquid pearls in white.
I did have to use the "out of the box" cutting on this image from Penny "Black. I used Gold Leaf around this panel. I also used gold Liquid Pearls for the Stamen.
The ribbon is sheer which works well for the fact that it covers the pretty little butterfly on the image, you can still see it.

Wow, Robin! Your coloring is fantastic. And the little pearls on this just dress it all up! I love the bit of lace and the sheer ribbon so I can still see that little butterfly!

Robin, this is SO beautiful! The coloring is out of this world gorgeous and so is your sketch. I love the use of the liquid pearls and the bit of lace you added to the die cut image. I have never done out of the box but love the way it looks on this!
