When I first saw retrosketches #35, I thought, “Whoa, that’s a lot to take it!” And then I saw Jen’s card that the sketch was built upon and said, “Wow, that’s an incredible piece of work!!!” I have been waiting for the perfect challenge to use SU Pleasant Poppies. This was my one of my first attempts at coloring a large image as well. I used Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits. If you enlarge the photo, you can see the color gradiations:)

Cindy – this is so gorgeous! I love your coloring! Great take on the RetroSketch – Thanks so much for playing with us!
Thank you, Arielle. I had fun making this card. The coloring reminded me of my days filled with coloring books even when I was a teenager and a mom with young kiddos! Love retrosketches challenges!!
