So is it acting like spring where you are? Well, it certainly has been in Virginia and that inspired my card for today. I’m the sketch hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches this week and I hope you will love the sketch I created for you. It is also the beginning of Kathy Racoosin‘s 30 Day Coloring Challenge (The Daily Marker 30 Day) which is a month of amazing inspiration that fills IG feeds with lovely art. It reminds us, as crafters, to take a little time every day just to make a little something that is pretty.
I kept my coloring pretty simple for today and used this gorgeous flower from Mama Elephant. Inspired by some of the cherry blossoms that are sure to be popping out any time here in my yard, I chose a soft pink for the flowers. The sentiment comes from the set too and I think it is a favorite of mine. The image and sentiments were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and the flower was coloring using Tim Holtz Distess Inks.
I hope you will join us with this sketch. I tried to make one that is open to techniques, large images or even pretty DSP. The team, of course, used all of these ideas and I’m sure you will come up with even more! Thanks for stopping in today. Remember….YOU make the world a better place! You certainly make mine better! Have a great day.

Your Soft and lovely card looks like spring!
Wow! Your card is so beautiful ! I love the wonderful colors of that gorgeous flower.
This is beautiful! You are so good at coloring with soft colors! I press the “crayons” too hard!
A week ago I would have thought spring was coming for sure, but right now it is 12-degrees and the wind is blowing so much that it feels like 5 below! So it’s to see a bit of spring right about now – even if it is in the form of a beautifully colored blossom!
So pretty, I love the soft colours.
