Wishing you brighter days...

 
Hi there!
 
I'd like to share with you a card I made for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  The theme is trees or nature. 
 
I colored the pretty flower image from Penny Black with my copic markers.  If you are into copic coloring, you will want to see Sandy Allnock's hex coloring chart for copic markers.  It shows the color relationship between markers.  I was using my reds and wanted just one more darker color for contrast, so I looked on her chart that I purchased and found the marker R39 in close relationship of color.  I'm not sure that I would use R05 again, but I went with it this time on my own.  Here are the colors that I used to color the image...
 


Well, that's all for now.  Do you have any big plans for the holiday?  We will be going to a cook out at my son's on Monday.  Whatever you do have fun and stay safe!  And, I thank all those who have served and are serving to help protect our wonderful country!  Thank you for dropping by...take care!

Hugs,
Maria

    Maria, this card is exquisite! What a work of art... the colors are spectacular and the design is lovely. The red flowers against black and white backdrop are so striking. You colored them beautifully! This is sure to brighten the heart of someone who is downcast. I hope you enjoy the cookout and the rest of your holiday weekend! Mine will be low-key, as unfortunately my dad is in trying times. :( God is watching over him! Thank you for always giving me so many reasons to smile. :o)

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen
