We do so much on the computer these days, don't we? Business, correspondence, shopping, managing photos, browsing... Sometimes I balk at it and get myself into a situation where it piles up on me and then I just have to sit down and catch up. One of my "catch ups" was to print the digis I've collected and not yet colored, as if I didn't already have a bunch printed and not yet colored, sheesh, but it's sunflower season and I have a hankerin' to color some sunflowers. This is Sunshine of My Life from Power Poppy.
It's printed on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with the Copics shown. I cut a decorative border into the lower edge and added twill ribbon and a ribbon flower. The flower comes as a length of ribbon flowers, all attached -- you've seen the type. It's very soft and floppy and can hardly be felt when in the envelope. If you were to peek into the flower center you would see a glittery circle of Cinnamon Stickles.
Off to see what kind of trouble I can get into now. Catch you later!

gorgeous.
JAW DROPPING GORGEOUS! No other words sum this up. Wow Leslie, love it all, from your fabulous colouring - you do amazing things with your copics, the die cut border and then to finish it off with that puffy flower - just gorgeous! Oh and not to mention your colour combination - just stunning for fall! Don't get into too much trouble - lol. Have a wonderful day!
pretty. too much to catch up on... I let it slide... Have a great day
This needs to be framed and hung on the wall ! Nobody can do flowers as beautifully as you do and the amazing thing is that you can do them equally beautifully in any medium . Doesn't matter if you are doing watercolors or colored pencils or markers, they all turn out just gorgeous . Love the pop of color from your flower, and that die in the bottom is gorgeous .
This is stunning!! Wow!
Gorgeous coloring, Leslie. Your sunflowers are so realistic with your beautiful shading and color choices. Happy Fall my friend. Hugs, Nancy
Oh my, Leslie, this is GORGEOUS, and your coloring is amazing! I LOVE it! What a beautiful layout with the wonderful twill and sweetness of a flower (with a Stickled center - ah!). And I love the bottom border. But it's the coloring that captures us all! Hope you've enjoyed the rest of your day! Hugs, sweet friend!
Wow, this is stunning! I love those sunflowers and your coloring is just perfect! Your card takes me away to lazy days of early Fall when our minds change from hot to cooler days. It's like a mini vacation in an envelope!
WOWZA! Sure am glad you got that hankerin' because this card is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL! You can color like no one else lady and my jaw always hits the floor when the full card appears in front of me! Just beautiful Fall colors and like Glenda ... my mind instantly went to those gorgeous Fall days when the air smells crisp and it's time for a good bonfire & marshmallows! Thanks
Oh, Leslie, this is absolutely amazing! The depth of your coloring is fantastic, and it is perfectly accented with that yummy ribbon flower! I love that it isn't bulky...will have to look into those! So love seeing you color up Power Poppy blooms!!! Your work is always spectacular!
WOWEE Leslie, oh how this glows. So beautiful, just makes me smile.
Just Gorgeous, and I love sunflowers anytime of the year :) Your coloring as always is just amazing, from the flowers to the vase! I love how you did the border at the bottom and that flower is beautiful!
I am drooling here... You are such an amazing artist... You should frame these beauties that you make and sell them for an astronomical price then hop over here and teach me how to! Lol! Beautiful card my friend ... Enjoy your weekend!
Yes it can build up to the point of overwhelming I agree. :-) But then you open this and think.... SO WORTH THE WAIT for me! Leslie... your coloring is outstanding. I love the vase and the lattice below. So crisp and clean feeling but gorgeous array of colors. Love this missy!
Amazing coloring, Leslie - I love the flowers!! The ribbon is so pretty, too. I don't think I've seen the ribbon that you're talking about. Yep, computer "stuff" can sure pile up! Good job of catching up on it.
Such a rich collection of fall colors! As always, I'm envious of the coloring. :-) As for digis, I have folders of them that I've never printed. I think I still have a couple of Power Poppy ones, too.
Another beautiful sunflower card! It looks so real with your beautiful coloring, I could reach out and touch it!. I don't know if I have seen that ribbon flower. I will have to look for it at Hobby Lobby.
W.O.W!!! Leslie you totally ROCKED this - OMGosh it's just gorgeous and I love the richness of your colouring! Gorgeous, Gorgeous Card!! Big Hugs!!! <3
Leslie, this may be one of my favorites of your creations, ever. (Well, maybe second to the Partridge in a Pear Tree extra-tall card, that one is hard to beat in my book!) But this, THIS is so warm, yet so bright! How did accomplish this with such a crisp look? You are just that good. Standing ovation from St. Louis!
Well sweet lady, I feel like I haven’t been able to pop by for so long...it is so lovely to see your amazing design with these sunflowers! The vibrance on the blooms is amazing! And I just love the lattice border along the bottom! Amazing!
Another stunner...wow, how you blend those colors is amazing (I feel like a kindergartner compared to your coloring..lol)! I think this would be amazing framed! Sorry I am so late in getting here, we were gone again...home for at least a month now...yay!! Weather is still good here and I LOVE the fall!
Gorgeous Leslie! Amazing coloring and beautiful card design! Love it!
Pure, Autumnal-Leslie-Style magic! How can your sweet hands even DO that sort of fantastic coloring, Leslie! Your flowers are incredible, and I just stared and your Creation for a long time, breathing in and out, feeling the peace, feeling your joy in putting it all together, and enjoying the loveliness of nature from your heart. Right down to the green shading on the table top, your colors have melted my heart. Thank you, as this will be what I enjoy of Autumn - from the artsiness of my friends! love, de
I love this card too! Well, I love all your cards. Your coloring is spot on as usual and the layout is perfectly simple.
