I've been holding this one back for a few days to let it grow on me! I made this card Sunday afternoon for the OWH Sketch #17 and for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge to use a tree on your card.
It's a digital image from Dustin Pike at Doodle Dragon Studios, if you haven't checked out his blog and store you really should. Cute stuff! I colored it with Copic markers and air brushed the background trying to make beams from the sun in the background. I'll keep practicing! I also feel like I've been using a lot of the same colors so I wanted to try something different there too. The green panel is stamped in Memento Cocoa using a Cornish Heritage Farms Montana Tree Bark background stamp and I ran the Sorbet Ice Blue panel through the Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder for a little texture.
I don't mean to complain but I just don't think it has the normal WOW factor I've grown accustomed to.
Oh ya, it's only paper, I can make another one~

I think it's very cute! AND I can see the sun rays in the background. I thought I was the only one that sat a card on my desk for days and just kept looking at it trying to decide if I like it!!! LOL. I think yours is great.
What a darling card Jan. Love the little turtle. Such great coloring. Thanks for joining in at SSC.

Very cute image, lovely coloring, I like this card :)
WOW! what a cute card.I love your coloring.
Are you crazy?! That is a WOW factor card for me. I love those blues and greens together and the stamp is super cute. Your coloring is so good - I only have 9 copic markers and I need some lessons (and more markers, of course!!!)
Beautiful coloring work on an adorable image. The bright blue is so nice against the black too. Nice card!
Such a cute image! And if this in not a WOW I dont know what is!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. The Flower Fold die is a Stampin' Up Big Shot exclusive die. (Everything on my blog is SU except for a very few exceptions) I have a soft spot for kitties, too!
I think its fabulous. Wonderful job
Wow, this is adorable! Really like the image and love the papers you chose!!!
