I 'm sharing a card today that was inspired by the Azalea's that line my driveway. Every year they burst into bloom about this time and they're really beautiful. Trouble is that we seem to get quite heavy rain too, which spoils them! So every year I go and take a picture while they look good. We had rain forecast for the early part of this week so I took my pictures Monday morning. As soon as they were downloaded to the computer I was inspired to make today's card.
Here's a couple of the photos.
The pink ones are my favourites but I have to say the white probably look the most striking!
So here's my card, I've coloured a Sassy Cheryl digital image called April Showers........ Don't you just love these lovely whimsical drawings?
What inspires your cards? This a subject Susan Raihala is talking about on her blog this week interesting isn't it?

ReplyDeleteHi Sue What a beautiful garden you have!
ReplyDeletefirst of all your flowers are just GORGEOUS!! I love flowers.. if your visit to my blog didn't give that away.
ReplyDeleteI used to plant and grow in my green house about 1500 bedding plants and lined out acreage driveway.. I had so many plants!! Mostly petunias.. I wish It was getting warm here.. but we are forecasting snow. We've had are deadly frost already so everything is toast lol Winter is in the air now.
Thanks for your VERY kind comment on my crafts, It was a challenge to see if I could make a paper shoe lol was actually fun to make.
I look forward to learning to copic coloring as I have just recently bought 1 set and now waiting arrive of another. Hopefully I have colors I'm comfortable with, and can learn to color all over again!! Or I should say learn to color with copic markers..
Thanks again,
