Hi, and welcome to a new month! One more card for this week. This is the Penny Black Perch set again and definitely the stamp that sold me the set. I just love the sweet bird. It looks like it's smiling.
It's colored with Tombow markers and blender on hot press watercolor paper. Sometimes I just stamp a set's images, then color and cut out and think about the cards later. That's the case here. It seems there are more options (and more fun) with the card design when I'm working with a collection of homemade ephemera. The same goes for dies. Gee, I think I'll get started on a bagful today!
I used some of that JarThenaAMCS paper again, an Amazon find. I especially love this piece. You'd think they could make the name more appealing. It's actually quite nice paper.
I'm moving over to the other side of the room now, where I have a few things on my table waiting for playtime. I hope we can visit again real soon!
Stamps: Penny Black Perch and Enchantingly (sentiment) Paper: Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor, Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White 80 lb, designer paper from Amazon Ink: Ranger Archival Shadow Grey, Stampin' Up Mellow Moss Coloring: Tombow markers and homemade blender Other: Spellbinders Scallop Labels and Tag, Memory Box Fairy Jewels

Another beauty Leslie! That sweet little birdie really does look like he's smiling, and you've colored him so perfectly! And I really LOVE that pot on its side with the violets (pansies?) spilling out...sooooo pretty! The beautiful dsp finishes off this card perfectly...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
That bird is definitely smiling and this card makes me smile. :) Your colouring is amazing and you've brought the bird and lovely pansies to life, Leslie. LOVE this paper and already checked it out on Amazon. :) xx
He certainly does look like he's smiling - very cute! Beautiful coloring and a wonderful card. Hope you got lots of time to play. Seems like even though we've been busy, I've a fair amount of time to spend in my craft room. I love it!
No-line coloring at its finest, Leslie! I still have this little darling on my wish-list at PB - one day he'll perch on my desk! Yes, I see his smile - and your gorgeous pansies give me a good reason to smile, too!

He IS smiling and I am too! Happy to see two new posts with my visit today! I am so admiring these cards with the Perch set and the leafy paper. Coloring is what you do best, and I am always inspired by your soft blends and pretty details! Your scalloped panel highlights the garden scene beautifully! I think it's wonderful that your'e finding time to craft and enjoying your new stuff!
Oh my! Such a sweet card with my favorite flower and such a cute bird! We were just watching some cute little birds at the feeder. Love your coloring. They look so real. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
I fail miserably at no line coloring, but you have mastered it! This is a wonderful little work of art, Leslie!
I so love your painted designs Leslie. You make tombow look like watercolors. Lovely lovely lovely.
