This beautiful digi from Sugar Nellie was so easy to color. She appears to be deep in thought so Willie Nelson is now ringing in my head. She is colored with copics and pencils and cut with Spellbinders matting basics. she is matted on Hollo's paper then again on a piece of glossy smeared with home made alcohol ink and distress reinkers. I left off a sentiment so that I may use the card as needed. Thanks for visiting!

Easy? I think NOT! Looks incredible! I love the way you have colored her pants, shirt and hair!!! Wow Nancy! She is Fantabulous! I love that little girl and what you have done from coloring to sponging and matting! Just gorgeous my friend! When I first looked at it I thought is was an already colored computer print....This is just spectacular!

The coloring on this sweet image is magnificent! You have the most incredible talent for coloring. Definitely a signature ability. I haven't seen anyone else who can even come near this quality using soft earth tones.

OMG Nancy, I am still staring at this masterpiece to convince myself that it is not a photo... like those images of Doris Day where all the lines were a little soft and blury. It is absolutely magical. You matched the bg papers perfectly to the colored image. Right into my favs.

Wish you would share that easy button you have for coloring. This does not look easy to me! It is a special card! Whatever occasion you use it for the recipient will be thrilled!
