Today's site for inspiration is one of Audrie's Pinterest boards featuring fountain pens. I chose this PEN (its the cherry blossom one)with its floral motif and stippled textured(I used ink sprays to get the dots on my image panel) and its gold color(gold edging on my panels).

Sallie, this looks like a gorgeous painting in a gallery. Your ink sprey adds such a nice look to your image and your copic coloring is fantastic. I have been looking at those Mr Huey's spreys and I have a coupon...your fantastic card has convinced me to give it a try. Right into my favs.

Sallie, you never fail to amaze me with your coloring, be it copic or watercolor! This piece is fabulous and love the look of the spray on it, although after coloring like that I probably would not have the nerve! You also have the steadiest hand I have ever seen with your gold edging!

This card definitely needs to be framed and placed somewhere it can be admired all the time. Wonderful colouring - oh how I wish I could do something like this. Great inspiration.

Sallie, your cards always jump out of the gallery. You have a very distinctive and beautiful style. Your coloring and shading never ceases to amaze me, giving your work such dimension. And as others before have said, this could easily be framed and hanging in a gallery. A beautiful Christmas card!
