Hello, I'm back with my second post for today. It's a new challenge month at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog and Jan has released 2 new sets this month: Rain Dance and Dogwood Blooms. Jan is also having a Flowers Sale, where 24 Floral themed sets are discounted until the 31st of March.
In keeping with the St, Patrick's Day theme I have going today, I've used one of Jan's older sets for my DT project, it's the Lucky Charm set, which is marked down for this month as well!
This is such a lovely set, drawn so beautifully. I remember spending hours combing through clover as a child, looking for that 4-leaf one, and I've found a few in my day. My sister did resin art and she made a pendant for me containing one of those 4-leaf clovers. Would you believe I found that pendant in my mother's jewelry box when we were going through her things after she passed? That pendant is 50+ years old.
I've colored this image using Prismacolor pencils, which seem to be my new coloring tool of choice. The patterned paper is from a digital paper pack included as a magazine freebie several years ago. The panel has been cut using the Stitched Rectangle Nesting Dies from Kat Scrappiness and the sentiment is included in this Lucky Charm set.
We hope you'll join us this month at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge. My teamies have created lovely projects using the new sets on offer and I know you'll be inspired. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Gorgeous card, your coloring with Prismacolors is stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna! Lovely coloring, especially the way it matches your pretty background paper. Your colored pencil technique is amazing, with the shading and highlights you've achieved!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful St. Patrick's Day card, Donna. The coloring is fabulous. How wonderful to come across a special trinket that your sister made so many years ago. Your mother must have known you would find it one day. Thanks for sharing at Colorful Options March Challenge.

Wow, for pencils being your new choice of coloring you do a fantastic job. Went to a pencil coloring class with one of our local shops in AZ; bought the pencils of her choice and I just pulled them out of my stash and going to use them on my next project and see if I can get as pretty a result as you have. Love the image too and wow even finding in your stash a perfect background paper. Another beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe coloring on this image is incredible. Super stunning locky card.
