Hi all! Some coloring happened in my stamp room. It took three sit downs, but mission accomplished. Pain and numbness creep up on me when I stick with it too long. There's plenty I can do, not complaining, but adjustments must be made. Enough about that.
The flowers on my card were hand drawn by my long-time blog friend Yogi. She knew how much I admired it and then kindly surprised me with a digital copy for my coloring pleasure. Thank you, Yogi!
I lightened the image for no-line coloring, then printed on watercolor paper. However, this is not totally a watercolor. The background shading is watercolor, but Copics were used on the flowers. The sentiment is an old woodblock stamp. Border was drawn with a gray marker.
Every time we send a hand crafted card we send a portion of ourselves. I hope snail mail never goes away. Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful floral card, I love the purples, your friend did an amazing job creating the digital, great coloring as always! I haven't spent much time in my room lately either, weather is too nice to not be outside and enjoy it! Have a great day!
Oh that was so sweet of your friend, she did a beautiful job with it and you brought it to life with your wonderful coloring of it. Sorry the process takes you longer but glad that over time you can still get it done. I love the way you make your own frames, it just finishes it off. I might have to give that a try some time when it looks like it needs a finishing touch :)
Gorgeous card, and I agree I hope snail mail never stops!
Wow! This is gorgeous. Your friend, Yogi, has some serious drawing talent. And, of course, you have your own talent which is giving those flat images a new life. Glad that you were able to work through your issues and create this beauty.
How delicately beautiful, and so bursting with life, especially with your vibrant colors and highlights, Leslie. The sentiment is perfect for the splash of life shown on your masterpiece - flowers truly DO give more than merely a portion of themselves for all living creatures, and without a single thought as to what they are giving! I hope the same can be said for me. SO LOVELY. Yogi was certainly kind in sharing her artwork with you! In turn, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us! (had my MRIs, and am recovering from that - seeing specialist on 7/11 - should be a lucky day, right? LOL) xx
Wow! So beautiful Leslie! What an awesome gift from Yogi! Your colouring always make your florals so life like. Love the bit of blue shading, the border, as well as the sentiment, so fitting. Your card is so dreamy, I keep looking at it. Sorry your feeling some discomfort when creating, but I must say, perseverance paid off.
Your card would look lovely framed! Have a wonderful day Leslie, and thanks again for sharing.
how lucky to receive a digital copy of these beautiful flowers ♥ and your colouring is spectacular. Love your simple open border framing the flowers xx
WOW. I knew you would do total justice to the line drawing. Coloring is fabulous. Just GORGEOUS Thanks. I'm also having problems. Numbness in my fingers... Have a great day
This is just so beautiful. I am so sorry that colouring for any time is difficult for you now because you are such an expert, but I am glad you can still do it in stages. The joys of getting older I suppose. I love the soft blue background, the hand drawn frame and the little splashes of pink, perfect. What a wonderful sentiment too xx
Oh wow, Leslie - how special is that!!! What an amazing drawing. I can see why you love it so much, and so very kind of her to send you your own copy. Your coloring is awesome, of course.
What a special gift, Leslie! And you've colored them beautifully! I agree that each card is a gift of ourselves whether we mail it or share it on our blogs. When we do both, is a double special gift! I find that I have to keep adjusting myself and so thankful I can still spend time creating.
You, and Yogi, have been very generous with your gift today, Leslie! Beautifully colored - I have a thing for 'shiny' berries!
It's the sitting at this desk that causes issues for me - we've got to move it, move it! xx

Leslie, this is so worth the wait as it is just stunning. Love it! Take care of yourself. Hugs and blessings always
I find myself speechless at the beauty of this card and your wonderful coloring, Leslie. Bonnie is absolutely right, when we share it on our blogs we are giving a part of something special and beautiful of ourselves as a gift to others. I hope you never stop creating, we are so grateful for the gifts you share!
Super lovely card. You do such beautiful work on all your cards. Anyone receiving them is lucky.
Your friend did such a beautiful job and your coloring is just gorgeous! The flowers look almost real! I love what you said about sending a portion of ourselves. So true! Have a great holiday weekend!
Gorgeous card Leslie. The flowers look like they are watercoloured too ... just goes to show how much talent you have with Copics. This is an amazing design by your friend Yogi. How special for her to share with you. You've done her proud. xx
Beautiful, lovely style and design here. Fabulous colours as well ♥
Beautiful! Very classic Leslie feel and just beautiful. Sometime taking a few tries to sit and color is just as good as hours at a time. Hope you are feeling good today. Hugs!
