Thank you Stef, for another great Inspiration Challenge!
As soon as I saw it, I remembered these swirly embellies I have and knew I had to use them on a card! I also tried to use the aqua blues and greens, but got a bit carried away into other colors too.
I colored using only Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol to blend. White gel pen for tiny highlights.
This card incorporates some masking, and a LOT of cutting and pasting! I used a total of eight stamps!
I hand drew the stitching with a white gel pen, as my machine is still on the fritz.
I'm giving this to my DH as an anytime card. We're still in love after 22 plus years!
All stamps High Hopes Stamps.
TFL!

Wow, what awesome coloring! Since the colors are so vibrant, I thought you had used markers. I can't believe this is just pencils! Great job and congrats to you and your DH - here's to 22 more years in love!

This is adorable! And a true labor of love, I can't imagine how long it took to color all of this in so exquisitely, and then to cut out a lot of pieces...! Great job!
