{S.S.} One Layer

Morning everyone-
I hope your day is going good so far.  It is lightly drizzling this morning and I am loving the gloomy weather.  My hubby wants to spend a few hours doing some manly chores around the house but, I think it's going to be a relaxing kick back kind of day!!

Today at Sentimental Sundays, our weekly theme is: ONE LAYER
I am using a beautiful image from Power Poppy called Gerbera Daisies
The sentiment is part of the stamp, which make this set even more beautiful.  When coloring this image, I kept thinking of my two very good online girlfriends!!  We chat all the time... about everything... Just last week, all three of us were having very bad, no good,  terrible kind of days!!!  On the same day!!!  It was the craziest thing.  I have amazing online friends and I hope to meet them in person one day!!!  

So...set the lobby stuff aside!!  My single layer card was colored using my Prismacolor Pencils!
I had them out already, so I figured why not!!!  You know one thing I love about coloring with pencils!!  You can leave your creation and come back to it!! You can add layers and layers of color, without it getting sticky and mistakes can easily be fixed. 

Well I hope you've enjoyed my creation today and I hope you will join us this week, where (I) will be giving away $15 gift voucher to Simon Says!! 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s): 
Challenge Up Your Life #9
C.R.A.F. T.  #299
Power & Spark: Sky's the Limit


Hugs.

    I want to say so many things about this..but it's all coming out in a jumble. I'm absolutely overwhelmed by this image. First of all, I always knew what a talented artist you were, but this just goes above and beyond all the other gorgeous cards you've made. Pencils are your thing, that is for sure! I would love to frame this and hang it up on my wall, that's how much I love it. I'm going to be trying pencils now too, you've inspired me! And oh how I LOVE this Power Poppy image! Well done my friend!

    btw, I'm glad that very bad day is over and we're back to creating beautiful things!
