Palo Verde


Morning everyone!   Today's the day Doodle Pantry is releasing a fabulous new selection of  digital images.  I used an image from the beautiful new Palo Verde set  to make this card.  This set comes with outline and pre-colored images as well as matching digi papers and sentiments.  

For my card, I used the outline image which I colored with Copic markers. Although, it's barley visible in the photo, I sponged the edges of the image panel with chalk ink; then heat embossed with clear EP mixed with dazzling diamonds.  IRL, the edges have a nice sparkle.  I opted for a simple design to allow the blossoms and greenery to take center stage.  

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe #126 -- Three elements with same letter (PEARLS, PAPER AND PALO VERDE BLOSSOMS)
Inspire Me Fridays 105 -- Anything Goes
Totally Papercrafts Friday Challenge #169 -- Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge #9 -- Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps Challenge 47 -- Make your Mark Coloring (COLORING WAS DONE WITH COPIC MARKERS.)
Outlawz Copics Challenge (CPC053113) May 31- June 6 -- Anything Goes
Rhedd & Rosie's Challenge #7 -- Blooming Lovely

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

    They DO just that...take the center stage......sooooo pretty and always enjoy your talent for coloring. After you said you shaded the edges I took a closer look...yup...very subtle...perfect....don't see the glaze but know it's beautiful in person. (Weather is perfect here...hot just the way I like it....plenty of peaches and strawberries coming in.)
