Greetings, Friends! Hoping you are doing well and keeping COVID-SAFE. I'm so grateful for your on-line friendship.
Today we have a new Challenge happening at:
Inspiration Station
NOT just "another" inspiration board.
My thoughts went to Connie Griffin, with her daily coloring samples, and to my friends who do such beautiful shading and coloring in their art projects. I also liked that there were lots of colors, just like my coloring efforts below.
Crafter Extraordinaire Shandy gifted me with a fun Zen-style coloring booklet.
Colored postcard is 5.5" x 7.5":
Products: Color Yourself Happy Coloring booklet of 5x7 post cards - Copic Markers - Distress Inks - VersaFine Clair inks - brads - White Gel Pen - Martha Stewart Geometric Frame border punch - Hero Arts CL342 sentiments, White detail embossing powder.

My Gift to You
Click on the image to bring it to full size. Because of the changes Google made, your image will appear to be solid black. Don’t panic. Right click and do a SAVE. Once it is saved on your hard drive, you can open it and it will have a transparent background. I create PNGs instead of JPGs so they can be placed anywhere on a scene or project, and so backgrounds can be made using them. Please let me know if you have any problems. I hope it serves you well!
Enjoy!

The way you chose to colour this is so rich and organic it really is fabulous. then there is that turquoise vellum with the white ep how magic is that. Love love love xoxo

So Gorgeous! I LOVE your colors! So bright and cheerful and happy!
How gorgeous, your coloring is just amazing Donna! And thank you for the lovely sentiment!
Two gorgeous cards, wonderful colours and designs, Kate x
Well done...as usual! Great idea to cut in half.
WOW, Donna! Gorgeous cards, fab coloring, and I love the idea that you took a large image and cut it into 2 pieces, resulting in 2 marvelous cards. I'm definitely going to have to dig out one or two of my larger background rubber stamps to see if I can CASE this idea in some way. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Oh wow your coloring of this is just gorgeous, such great rich color, so nice you were able to get two cards out of this one coloring :) Love the border you chose to go with the images, so pretty!
Hi Donna, Loving the card. The colours are fab.
Hope you have a nice day. Sue
Amazing colouring and what a fabulous image Donna. Great you managed to get two wonderful cards from it. The addition of the turquoise vellum sentiment strip and the die cut edging looks so pretty x.
Gorgeous, gorgeous coloring! Thanks so much for getting colorful with us at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.
The postcards are so fun. You have raised them to a much higher sophistication level. Lovely card.
I love this type of image with all its coloring possibilities! Your coloring and color choices transport me to a color lover's Nirvana! Wow! Your sentiment freebie is beautiful, too. You are so kind and generous, Donna!
Such great free sentiments, Donna! Thank you! The coloring on your cards is out of this world beautiful. They are incredible. Big hugs, Autumn
Omg, I just now snapped that you list your challenges kind of like I do and I totally get your expiration dates! Well, I very much love your cards and now I'm wondering how you are taking all this coloring? Is it relaxing and not hurting you? Do you take frequent breaks? I have another friend in pain alot who colors. I get lost in it and do sometimes realize I cannot move hahaha. But I do think my frequent trips to the bathroom are like built in break protectors for me. See, blessings everywhere! {eye roll} Hey, hope you are feeling good and big hugs! xoxo
Grand coloring, Donna. Plus, you made two cards out of it. Fabulous. [Bunny]

Just gorgeous hun, love the punch you have used
Thank you for sharing with us at 'Cardz 4 Galz' this fortnight

A beautiful array of colors and your added dots have a big impact. Nicely done, glad you shared it with us at Inkspirational as well.
Such vibrant, beautiful coloring you've done, Donna! I am always bummed when my Copic coloring bleeds through cardstock, too, so you made a good choice to use these post card panels as card fronts instead.
Thank you so, so much for leaving me some love a little while back. Life has been much too hectic, and I'm finally getting a chance to come say thank you!!
Gorgeous cards, Donna! I love how you used the card here that was no longer usable as a post card. The colors are so bold and lush.
Thank you for the freebies.
Hugs Monica
