This week it's the turn of Team A... and the lovely Judith is our hostess.... she has chosen the fab theme of
'The Birds and The Bees...'
I have used 'Wild Rose' by A Passion for Stamps and decided to make a 'Thinking of You' Card. I've kept things quite simple because of the type of card.... and concentrated on the colouring of the image... I studied some photos of the actual flower and tried to match the colours to real life...
The gorgeous paper is Raspberry Road Designs and was a freebie with magazine. I haven't used too many embellies... this paper is SO gorgeous that it doesn't deserve to be covered up!! so I just added some nailheads to the image... sentiment was made on computer...
I've coloured the image with Promarkers
So that is it... quite a simple card but I'm happy with it.... and it's nice to keep in some of these cards!
We are sponsored this week by the fabulous A Passion For Stamps
For more details of the challenge and prize... I hope you can hop on over to MAWTT and you can also see my Teamies gorgeous creations!
I would like to enter the following challenges:-
Totally Gorjuss - 'Anything Goes with Pink'
Crafty Sentiments Designs - 'Pretty in Pink'
Papertake Weekly - 'Anything Goes'
Not long until weekend now... I'm taping all the episodes of Mayday and so hoping to watch a couple of them on Saturday with my daughter. I have caught up with all the episodes of Call the Midwife too... I wasn't sure whether I would like it .... but I'm hooked now! I don't want Mr Selfridge to finish... it's just got better and better... I do love period dramas... ;-))
The tidying is on hold... Two days and I was shattered just delegating and deciding what to keep and what to throw out!! LOL
Hope you are all well
Will catch up with you soon
Love and Hugs

This is beautiful Sue, I love the papers and the image work perfectly together x
Lovely card Sue!
I wish you could tidy up at my place too. ;)
"Call the Midwife" sounds familiar to me. Maybe it´s the same TV-serie that is called "Midwife in East End" ?
I loved that serie.
Hope you are feeling well now.
Warm hugs from a very sunny Smedjebacken now with clear blue sky. :D

Oh Sue, what a beauty. Outstanding colouring, Promarkers or Copics? Not sure what u use! Really love this one though, very elegant and I love the simplicity. Thanks for the emails, still not sure about getting them if I also need the other bit, would work out at pricey little floweries! Jx
Beautiful card, love the image and the colours are fabulous and I think you did right to keep away from the embellishments as the paper is lovely.

Gorgeous card, you did a fab job of the colouring and making it look real life. The papers are very pretty and certainly didn't need much embellishing.

wow what gorgeous colouring Sue - such pretty lifelike colours and a fab layout to, can you come round and delegate some tidying up at my house - oh and bring someone to delegate to! - I'm going to miss Mr Selfridge too - wonder what will be on to replace it. Just one complaint about your blog Sue - I liked your old eye candy better!!! hugs judith x
With such a beautiful image and paper I think you were right to keep the design clean. The card has an elegant feel to it! I think flowers are so tricky to color, it's difficult to get the shadings right, but I think you accomplished the task of giving them a natural look!
This is just Lovely Sue♥. I love the clean and elegant layout and the colouring is fab♥. Great colour combo and gorgeius papers♥.
Have a nice day♥.
Hugs, Marita
