Timid Wishes

It feels like eons since my last card, May is way too busy for me.  I finally got all of my new images adhered to the cling foam.  This new image is Willow with Flower Basket by Elisabeth Bell designed for Whiff of Joy and I have used it for my Whiff of Joy Challenge 78 which is the sketch shown below.  I used the colors from Color Throwdown 91, I didn't have any Kiwi Kiss paper so I substituted Green Galore.  This card also works for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge of Birthdays/Celebrations.

WOJ66 Challenge Entry

This is my first time stamping with an Elisabeth Bell stamp although I have long coveted them.  This card is made for the Whiff of Joy Challenge 66, I flipped the image.  Too bad the patterned paper which was my inspiration for the colors used on this card hardly shows up behind everything.  I used the coloring pencil tutorial over at Prairie Fairy to give this image the softeness.  All of Elisabeth Bell's images give me the imagery of softness and gentleness.

Ink:  Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Tsukineko Graphite Black
