For a long time I have been just crazy about Michelle Perkett's images. They looked like they would be so much fun to color. However, I didn't know if I was quite up to tackling one of those gorgeous images. I just couldn't pass them up again when they went on sale the earlier part of this week, so I bought a couple and decided to give it a whirl. Now I have no illusions about my coloring on this card. LOL I'll keep practicing. I promise {grin}. And by the way, it was WAY fun to color!
Michelle has a weekly challenge blog for cards made with her stamps called Michelle Perkett Studio Design Challenge Blog, and this week just happened to be an open challenge so I'm going to enter my little experiment. I also used one of the sketches from Midnight Madness this week, so I'd like to enter it there also.
I probably should have made the card a little bigger. It's a standard A2, which I very seldom make. I like to have lots of room for embellishments, but, there it is. I know the card base and mat for the image looks like it's black or brown but it's actually a dark olive green.
Hope you're having a good week. Got to go finish making my daughters birthday dinner.
Blessings!

Hi Tracy... I bet colouring this image is the beginning of a long passion for MPS images! I am totally addicted! LOL this is just beautiful. I love that the image is so delicate, and the surrounding colours are so bold. The ribbon and deco pin details are just divine! Thanks for playing at MPS this week!
