Sigh....isn't this just fabulous. I loved coloring this image. There are so many possibilities. The sentiments are my favorite part. Azaleas always remind me of balmy ocean breezes and beach houses. I am so ready for summer and this set gets me in the mood for long hot balmy days. We have lots of azaleas in North Carolina. This 4" by 6" set was illustrated by hand with a whole lotta love by Marcella Hawley.
I loved coloring this image. I colored it with Copics and distressed the edges. I used many different colors to achieve the colors I wanted.

LOVE all the distressing on your card, and you've colored the image beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGosh Dawn -- your coloring on this card is so incredible -- I love the almost wash between the different shades -- truly stunning!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDawn...I LOVE how you colored your azaleas and the color palette you used is so striking! It certainly has me wishing our azaleas would hurry up and bloom!!! :) Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love the peachy pink color of your flowers. We had Azaleas in Alabama, but they are not hardy in zone 5 where I am. I think with the last couple winters we could possibly be considered zone 4. I will be surprised if my Butterfly bush comes back. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and the colors are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDawn, stunning card with gorgeous color variation in your blooms!! Love the leaches and browns...swoon worthy! Hope you're doing we'll, friend!
ReplyDeleteYour colors are wonderful, wish you would add the colic color numbers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Dawn! Your coloring is exceptional, as always!
ReplyDeleteWowsers Dawn! Absolutely stunning! This stamp set certainly lends itself to some gorgeous colouring and yours is divine! A breath-taking card my friend!

ReplyDeleteCan you say BEAUTIFUL!!! Dawn you can use dp as a background to make anything stand out and say WOW. Your coloring is fabulous, beautiful card all around!
ReplyDeleteWill I can see this new site is going to be nothing but FUN!!!! I just Love your Azaleas, and since there in bloom here in Fl this is the PERFECT stamp... and you know I can't remember another Azalea stamp either so this will be a must have for sure!
ReplyDeleteDawn, I love how you've used black to ground these gorgeous bright florals--it really grounds them and makes them pop!!! And the pink you use in paper to bring out the pinks in the azaleas is lovely. Such gorgeous coloring!!! I'm definitely not in this coloring league but hope to someday be able to do the Marcella Hawley floral stamps I'm blessed to own justice as well as a few more when possible. These will definitely be on my wish-list!!! :) Gorgeous card using some wonderful coloring artistry and beautiful elements to create a wonderful card anyone would be overjoyed to received. Stunning indeed!!! Blessings, Joanne Lowe
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Dawn! Your coloring is awesome and I love the lace & ribbon behind your image. Those butterflies were the perfect final touch to make it another WOW card! It's SO good to have you back again!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW and when can I get my hands on one of these stamps???April 1?? 2 more days!! Can hardly wait.

ReplyDeleteOhhhhh Dawn! Your creation is simply swoon-worthy. I do love how you've used the black, as Joanne pointed out. It grounds and sets off the image in such a knock-out punch kind of way. Your style of coloring is so cool - looks of like dabs of fruit juice painted on the petals. So unique and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteDawn, this is INCREDIBLE! Not only is your coloring fabulous, but your use of patterned paper really sets the image off to perfection!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Bold and Stunning!!! Your pink/peach blooms are AMAZING and the dramatic touch of black really makes it all pop!! Love the darling butterfly/button accents too!!! Gorgeous!!!
