I did already have this image pretty much colored so I put in bashful blue and it came up with several combos. From that I decided on my matting. I'm sure everyone knows about that site but it's the first time I tried it. You can either put in a few colors and hit search and let it complete your combo possibilities, or just click surprise me and see what it comes up with! What fun!
This cute little image is from Penny Black and is stamped on H2O paper and watercolored with markers. I'm starting to love this technique! The sentiment is Sweet 'N Sassy, and on the inside there is a sentiment from Stampabilities "I'm praying for you". This is for a young lady in my Bible Study group who was in a serious car accident while delivering mail. She is in critical condition with multiple broken bones. She will have a long recovery time ahead of her. Having been through this myself my heart is very heavy for her and her family. As soon as she is well enough to have visitors, I'll be bringing her this along with a bouquet of springy flowers. I hope it will cheer her a bit.

Oh, Grace! This is so beautiful! What a wonderful image and you've colored it so perfectly! I love the soft colors and your pretty ribbon treatment! I am sure this will bring a smile to the face of the young woman who had the accident!
