A few leaves from MFT did the trick for my tropical theme for Sketch #173:

Ohhh the greens!! You are so very successful!
ReplyDeleteOh the joy of seeing the "tropics" when it isn't necessarily so IRL! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteYes! We must meet on a lush, tropical island! Hint, hint.....
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the watercolor wash behind the greenery, too!
Fabulous focal point. I love all the lush foliage.

ReplyDeleteLoving the monochromatic take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! This is so pretty!! I love your take on this sketch!!
ReplyDeleteLove this you have captured the tropics beautifully ...only needs an alcoholic beverage beside it to complete it :)xx
ReplyDeleteSuper card for the challenge, Michele! Love the "lush tropical greenery" and I'm sure that one day soon you'll see the real things in their natural settings - maybe even fanning over you as you lay back in a lounger poolside? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs always, your take on the sketch is fabulous, Michele! I love your watercolor wash behind the tropical leaves...Such beautiful shades of green, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your beautiful layered leaves and watercolouring, Michele! Fabulous take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteDoes the Caribbean count as the tropics? If so, I've been. Very nice, but been there, done that.... All I want is to go everywhere and see everyone. Yeah...that'll happen.... LOVE the greens you've chose for these leaves/fronds. The watercolored background is perfection. Beautiful card. Have a good weekend my friend. Bev
ReplyDeleteA whole lotta fun!
ReplyDeleteWowzers!! That's pretty! I love your watercoloring and those beautiful green fronds!
ReplyDeleteAnother tricky sketch but those leaves fill the bill, Michele.
ReplyDeleteLove all the green! Your fabulous watercolor background with the bold leaves really captures a feel of the tropics!
ReplyDeleteTerrifically tropical, Michele ... I'm imagining pushing aside those yummy leafy fronds to reveal the jungle path leading down to the beautiful beach! I can dream!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and soft take on the sketch! Your watercoloring skill is really artistic, Michele!
ReplyDeleteMichele, I love your take on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
You could have fooled me with your jungle greens! Very 'lush' card!! xx
