Artistic Borders (more simple note cards)

This time, I used the other big flower from the same set(Artistic Borders) to create another single-layered-somewhat-simple note cards on linen card stock.

Is this simple enough? All I used was linen card stock to make the card base (5 1/2 x 4 1/4), a brown ink to stamp the images, color pencils, and a little Stipples glitter. This card inspired me to do a tutorial although I used smooth card stock for the tutorial. I added a couple more pictures below in another color scheme.

We are getting a lot of rain today. I'm not complaining because it could be snow. I, unlike some of my crazy friends, do not like snow. I don't like being cold. I don't like driving in it. I don't like so watch other people drive in it. I tolerated it when I had to, but it's not my preference. To my crazy friends (and you know who you are because you are buried in the white stuff right now from a big snow storm yesterday), I hope you are having a blast. Send pictures-- because that's as close as I want to be to the snow. Did I say that out loud?Oh shoot, you know what that means don't you? It means my hubby is going to come home tonight and tell me that we are moving to a snowy place!!?? ARGH!! Just kidding... I hope! :/

And now... here is a preview of my color pencil tutorial and class. The card above was so much fun to color I just had to share it step by step. The samples are made and the pictures are taken and edited. I'm working on the detailed instructions now. Of course it always takes longer than I think it will going in. My daughter is coming home for spring break today and she's going to help me make a video which I will add to the post as soon as its done. In other words I won't hold up the pictures and instructions for the video.

I'm also hoping to use this when I teach classes. It's probably be part of the hand out that I create for my classes. Which brings me to the next step... I need a name for my coloring classes. I'm not clever, but I want a clever title. If you think of something that I end up using, I'll send you something. If I love it, I'll come up with a lot of somethings. OK? Put your thinking caps on. Help me out. Please?? :)
