Hello, sweet friends! Well, Brenda, I love your Inspiration Challenge this week with the right inspiration for me to inspire me with this new digital image. (I'm sure I could be inspired by many of these flags for lots more cards.) I have to admit that orange is NOT my favorite color by far - haha! But I do love pumpkins. This beautiful garden flag inspired me (among several others). Of course, I love when I can add an encouraging Scripture verse, which makes it a special card for me to send.
I printed the focal image large enough and the Scripture verse next to it in landscape mode - and then began coloring. I didn't really know what I would do with it after I finished coloring (which is my normal "wing-it" mode - haha!), but I found this lovely plaid DP that I think works. I also ended up using Tangerine Tango, and I think I've never used it before. I colored with Copic markers, but I did use a very sharp olive green colored pencil to fill in the "everything beautiful" in the sentiment (not that you could see it though).
Still cleaning and getting our house back in order, which has been a lot of work. But it was good because we got to meet our newest neighbors who are a real joy. They came over for a quick "get acquainted" visit, and we ended up chatting for nearly four hours. The neatest thing was that the guys really have so much in common and talked a lot, and we gals were thrilled about that. She is a sweetheart, and we hope to get together with just us girls.
Thanks for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you all a wonderful and blessed week! Hugs! xoxo
Oh I love love this fall themed card, Cheryl. Your coloring is outstanding ! Love the rich orange shades of pumpkin..the ground...everything! Your plaid paper is beautifully supporting the painting. You certainly have an eye for papers, my friend. xoxo

Coloring/shading is stunning! Layers, papers and die cut is a fantastic BG for digi image. Your work is so beautiful. I want to reach out and touch. Awesome.
