Color Throwdown #810

I know I'm supposed to be sorting laundry - but a little fun first!  My Sunday afternoon was spent water coloring a few more Penny Black images and included this little darling in the colors from Color Throwdown #810!



All these images were stamped on Canson cold press watercolor paper
in Versa Clair Misti Morning ink.


Penny Black 'sharing a song' and an old sentiment from Reverse Confetti

I couldn't resist adding another Penny Black bear to my collection recently - this one is called Love and Magic. I've found two ways to feature him...


Here he is delivering his Christmas bouquet in that gorgeous PB Double Frame.
Next decorating a PB Jumbo Bauble!


Back to reality!  Have a great Monday!

I don't want to go back to reality! Can I just stay here? So much sweetness, and the adorability factor is high. Beautiful cards, Michele. Guess I'll just go hug Sophie.

Wow, a wonderful group of lovely cards. Love your coloring on the images, they are so sweet. I know you had fun coloring each one. Great use of the colors from Color Throwdown #810 on the first card.

I'm looking forward to getting my mojo back and doing some watercoloring. All three cards are magnificent, Michele, but it's that girl that stole my heart.

These are much more fun than laundry, Michele! The little miss with the bird is adorable and so is this sweet bear! Perfectly framed and baubled!

Do we have to go back to reality - really?! What an adorable trio of cards Michele; they remind me just how beautiful watercoloured images can be, when done well. I love the little girl - I think you did a much better job with the CTD colours than me! She really is so sweet.
