This second sample that I created from Clear Dollar Stamps "Porch Conversations", was created with Basic Gray's "Wisteria" Designer Paper Collection -- that sort of set the mood, the color scheme and the whole flavor of the card. I decided to color the image on this card with my Copics and figured I could use a little practice blending and shading. I was trying for a cooler, Spring-ey feel with this card with the use of violets, lavendars and soft greens. The array of self-adhesive pearls on the upper right of the card is my attempt at creating a visual "Wisteria" hanging bloom. I'm not sure if it flies, or not, but I left it, as is, just the same. LOL The more I stared at it, the more I decided, "I kinda like that!" LOL The sentiment/quote that is included in "Porch Conversations" is such a wonderful quote and as I was creating the card, I couldnt help but think, "Isn't that the truth about a best kind of friend!" "Porch Conversations" can be purchased on July 1st at www.newcleardollarstamps.com.

Oh, Linda, your pearl treatment is PERFECT! What a great touch to a beautifully coloring image ;D
Very pretty, you've got that copic blending down pat. Lovely images and an even better framing by the stamper.
I think I love this set, Linda!
I would leave a blank comment because after all, we are good friends, but I am afraid it wouldn't be the same as sitting in silence on your dreamy porch, so words are a necessity here...lol!
Your copic blending is wonderful, the colors soothing and cool, and love the hanging wisteria!
