This is my second attempt - the first one I made, though it looked almost exactly like the inspiration, depressed me. My dear DIL who is stamping by my side loved it, so I told her she can have it. Man, I hated that card. So I made this one instead an I am happier. Here was my inspiration:
So much fun!! I had such an exhausting week at work I had no energy to stay up and do the challenges this week, so finally, I am back! Hope you like it!!~
For anyone new, I do have a tutorial on my blog showing this technique - it's all the way to the bottom of the first page when you click on older posts, it will be the first one to come up - and remember I discovered since I wrote the tutorial that watercolor pencils work better then the pure colored pencils.

Dramatic and lovely, Karen. Glad you were able to create and post today. I know what you mean about W O R K making us too tired to stamp through the week. I hope to be back later myself. Your creations really inspire me, so thanks.
