I love how this turned out. I colored using the Earth Tones Chalks and tried to match the colors yet keep the coloring rather subtle. I didn't want to detract from the rich colors of the paper.
Here's a closer look at the image. I used my PhotoShop to enhance the contrast which made the colors pop a bit more. This is a great masculine card and would also work as a sympathy card.
This card is a bit more simple. You can barely make out that the kraft card is layered on a piece of DCWV green. I used a new set called Thoughts & Prayers for the text and Happily Grateful for the foliage. I used an assortment of PH inks, Noir, Sunflower, Starry Night, L'Amore Red, and Viridian Leaf. These are also found in the Ink Spots 4 pack set Van Gogh. I used the Stardust Clear Gel pen on the blue flower centers for some bling,. How do you like the line around the edge? I made that with an ink pen and ruler. I haven't done this in years and loved seeing the reminder while blog visiting.
Did you enjoy my chiminea and leather sunflower? I'm not just a paper crafter but enjoy making other things. I also make ladies' fabric wallets and denim rugs and have sold many over the years! I'll have to post those someday. Hmmm.... Maybe I should make a page of my other stuff for sale. What do you think?

I had already seen the ship on PaperWings and thought it was totally awesome - love the chalks, and the other card is so colorful and bright. Great job on both.
I love those cards .... great colors!
