A flying Zebra and Get Well roses

We've had a lovely bright day today, but it's all change for tomorrow.  Storm Brendan is due to hit with 85mph gales, so it definitely won't be an umbrella type of day!  This little guy would be blown to Spain LOL

I had a little slice of this swirly DP in my pile that I knew would come in handy and it was just big enough to slide behind my hearts die :)
Zebra popped up on foam pads, sparkle added to the edge of the umbrella and shine added to his hooves.  Little blue stars from stash.

I couldn't get a decent pic of this one, you'll have to trust me that it looks much better in real life LOL

I've discovered that I can colour in and watch TV at the same time, mostly thanks to my fab new sharpener that catches all the shavings, so I'm not up and down every 2 minutes to sharpen my pencils!
Floral image from Clearly Besotted, coloured with polychromos and then splattered with pink and green watercolours.

    I love both of these cards; that zebra is so stinkin' cute! Beautiful pencil coloring on the flowers. Looks like coloring and TV work well for you, lol. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!

    That zebra card is so sweet! Is that a digi image? Love the swirly blue paper you snuck in there....genius! The flower card is so pretty. Someone will be happy to receive it, for sure. Thanks for sharing! Will be thinking of you this week. If you go out in the wind with your umbrella, aim yourself in my direction - when you get here, we will play with paper!

    Hi Lynne : ) Two great cards! I really like the DP behind the hearts in your first card. That is a clever idea!! I am always looking for ways to use my DP!! I really love that sweet, perfectly colored Zebra too!!

    Your second card is so pretty and elegant! I really like your design and the sweet accents you added including your delicate "doodling"

    Be safe when the storm hits!!

    BIG (((Hugs)))

    I love both your cards. The heart die on the first one is so pretty--especially with the swirly blue DSP behind the cutouts. Your coloring on the second one is so pretty. Those roses look just beautiful. That sounds like a nasty storm heading your way. Stay safe! I hope there is no damage from it.

    Two gorgeous cards Lynne! I have an older version of the Faber Castell sharpener which also catches the shavings and I love it! The zebra is so cute - and your flowers are gorgeous too. Wonderful colouring!

    Hugs
