This time around the "Toppings" options is "Red, White and You" (your choice of a third color). However, you also have the option to do an Anything Goes birthday card, the choice is yours. My choice was seasonal Red, White and Blue!
Recently I have been doing some experimenting with digital images. Sometimes I don't have just the stamp I want in my stash and don't have the time to order one, and I love the instant gratification of a digital stamp. This is one of the free ones I found, and I've shared the link below. I tried a few different coloring mediums, but I decided that I liked working with colored pencils the best, as the sharp points can get into the tiniest of spaces. I kept the rest of the card pretty simple as I wanted the focus on the sailboat. This birthday card is for my sailboat-loving big brother.
I'm also playing along with the challenge at Curtain Call which is Red, White, and Blue, and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge which is Red, White and Blue! Guess it's that time of year!

This is incredible Sandy! I too love Colored pencil more than any other medium. I feel like I have better control. I have about a dozen Copics and they are being neglected. However, sometimes I use them as an under layer and used pencil over top. You clearly lost no mojo during your brief time off! HUGS!
Hi Sandy, Love the sail boat card. It looks fantastic. We will have to talk more about digital stamps. Of course . . . your coloring is perfect.
:)
Such a beautiful card! Love not only the color combos, but also the extra touches you added to the card, I.e., the shell/coral on the bottom left. 😍
Spectacular coloring Sandy! The sail boot looks amazing!
