Of course I have had a whole week to work on it, but somehow I never got to it. Here is the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches # 228.

I pulled out an un-inked stamp set from Stampin Up - Best Thoughts. I love hydrangeas. I must have 5 different stamps. This mophead is fabulously drawn. For the card base I added a bit of tone on tone with the Stamping Up Hardwood stamp for some texture.
I took out my colored pencils (Artist's loft 48 pk) and went to work with 3 pinks and 3 greens. A bit of gamsol to blend it at the end and it was time to fuss with the sentiment. For the second time in a row, I had to cover a boo boo...but again it looks better with the bit of white on black for additional contrast.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cat, this is simply beautiful. I love it.
