Hello and welcome. Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Sheepski Designs. I would like to thank Andrea for her sponsorship. My card this week uses Andrea's image called Spring Gnome.
I started out by printing the image on Neenah white card stock before coloring using both my Lyra flesh tone and Castle Arts colored pencils. Once I was finished coloring, I lightly stippled left over stormy sky distress ink around the image to "soften" the white space before layering and adding brads. Taking my Martha Stewart hydrangea punch, I punched out several pink/purple flowers then shaped and added them to my card using glossy accents, To the flower centers, I added some yellow ice stickles. As an afterthought, I pulled out a long retired Stampin Up word set, Small Script, and added the wish in the bottom left corner. It took a few days to get it done thanks to my migraine but I'm really satisfied with the end result.

I love all the little hydrangea flowers! I need that punch right now as I am making a couple of cards that have hydrangeas on them, lol. XOX
