Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
What lovely tulips! I think my favorite is the one colored with Tombow markers :)
ReplyDeleteMine too. The colored pencils just aren't as vibrant. :-)

Pretty cards and both are pretty in their own styles.
ReplyDeleteI love the image and it looks great with both sketches. I love the patriotic tulips.
ReplyDeleteLovely and vey clever that this stamp could be used in any color theme. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful but different because of the coloring. Your creativity with the Flowers and color choice is fantastic. These are to date my favorite of your work, great job April.

Oh Wow, what gorgeous cards! Thanks for supporting OWH!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards...really great use of the stamp!
ReplyDeleteAwww such beautiful tulips! I love that you used the same image for two totally different sketches :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and I love your coloring on the image. Thanks so much for your support of OWH! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring. Love the paper on the first one, as it looks like actual denim.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous image- and thanks for showing us versions with colored pencils and markers. I used only colored pencils for years- until I became obsessed with copics; your coloring has inspired me to pull out my pencils again! Thanks for your support of OWH and our troops!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the patriotic tulips and that you made two wonderful cards with the same image using different coloring mediums, sketches and papers.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your beautiful cards. It's fun to compare the colored pencil effects with the markers, each lovely. Thanks for sharing your creations with us!!
ReplyDeleteThose tulips are beautiful on both cards! I love the variation with coloring mediums, and I'm sure our heroes will enjoy sending these cards back home to their loved ones!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty cards! Love those red, white, and blue tulips. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the coloring for both! One is more muted but continues the theme and feel of the card. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLove both of the sketches that you used for your cards! Love the red, white and blue tulips in that jar! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! Nothing like a mason jar vase. Perfect!
