My Take on the Sketch:
I made this card using Retired Papers from SU that were in my stash (Parisian Summer and BonJour) and the new stampset just released from Our Daily Bread Designs this week: Happy Easter . The image is watercolored then cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I also colored the image and used masking to create the background.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs: Happy Easter
Paper: SU retired Parisian Summer and Bonjour, So Saffron, Bitter Chocolate
Accessories: Zva Creative pearls, MS Classic Butterfly punch, MS shell border, Swiss dots embossing folder from Provocraft, Oval spellbinders

On Sunday I shared this box on my blog which matches with this card:

Chris--you are truly amazing! I mean that as a person and as an artist! I love this newest piece. The colors grabbed me, because they were so unexpected with the pops of black in it! Were your "Swiss Dots" made with pearls? The dots look very raised! I wouldn't put it past you, you almost always include pearls in your art. I think I shall nicely call you "Pearl Girl." Do you like your new nic-name? And, I love how you have the background of more daffodils. Beautiful job, Pearl Girl! :)

He IS Able,
Traci S.
