As a programming note, if you are looking for day 2 of the Newton’s Nook February Release it will be up in a second post. For this card, I’m working with another fantastic sketch for Freshly Made Sketches created by the queen of layers, Narelle. The way she has layered this sketch speaks to how she always has the most lovely details.
When I saw the scallop, I immediately thought of this flower from Altenew’s Botanical Garden set. I pulled out my Zig again and this time focused on Peacock Blue. Love that blue! I aded a little yellow in the center and combined greens for the leaves but generally some super quick coloring. With the blue being so striking, I chose this pale background, Fog from Simon Says Stamp. Using the scraps from where I colored the flower, I cut two banners and colored one with the green and left one plain. Finally I added this little Paper Pumpkin sentiment and some Basic Pearls. It was nice to stretch into a different set of colors this week and I think this sketch is going to be fun for everyone.
Back in just a few with today’s release card. You will be “egg-cited” to see it! Thanks for stopping in today.

Love how you’ve colored that flower. The shades of blue are so beautiful – you are quite the artist with those Zigs!
Oh wow! That flower is amazing and coloured perfectly! (I need to learn how to colour and give definition like this!). The strip of light green really makes your flower pop!
