Thank You

Hello -

I'm straying from my critters for just a bit.  I am taking the coloring class at Online Card Classes and this is the hardest one I have ever done.  I am having fits with the homework. Every hint is so outside my comfort zone.  But I had to try something different and this card will be visiting two challenges  - Allsorts and Color Throwdown.




Allsorts theme is say it with flowers. The unusual colors I took from Color Throwdown.  I used Altenew's Wallpaper Flower image, a leaf die outline from Simon Says stamp and only 3 copic markers YR23, BG49 and B99.  I added some colored pencil to it and some white gel pen. I think it works...how about you?

Thanks much for visiting.

Yep. It works. For sure! I couldn't make a life-like flower like you did in a million years. This is gorgeous. I swear it's leaping right off the cardstock base. You so totally rocked it. Even though the class might be hard, you've made it look easy - like you've been doing it forever. Soooo cool. Love it. You go girl. xo Bev

wow - just gorgeous, Cat - wallpaper art is one of my favorite stamp sets and paired with those leaves is a fantastic idea.

This is great Cat, it definitely works. I love the depth you have created. I was very tempted to sign up for that class but I already have classes that I haven't finished so I ought to be doing them first. Hope you enjoy it, I shall look forward to seeing more of your efforts. xx

You may think you are struggling, but this is gorgeous! It pops right out of the gallery, saying "LOOK AT ME!"!!! Keep up the good work!

Outside your comfort zone maybe, but you pulled it off like a pro! Very pretty, Cat!!!

That flower is amazing! I can't believe it is just three colors! You are obviously a great pupil so keep up the good work!

THis is fabulous. I love the deep colors and those leaves tucked behind the floral. So pretty, I think you are doing a great job with the homework. It is such a great class. Thanks for linking up to CTD
