My first card is using the spotlight technique, so many stamps to chose from but I went with this wishing well, I liked the thought of spotlighting the top of the well and adding a birthday wishes sentiment to it for my girlfriend.
Trying new paper to color on with my pencils, I had cut out the image before I started coloring and when I popped it back in after coloring I thought oh wow that doesn't show up as nicely as I had hoped, instead of throwing it all away and starting over with white card stock I decided to go ahead and mat the image and the background with bright yellow paper to give it a pop of brightness!

Another gorgeous day, I just love having the doors open and having fresh air in the house!
Hope you all are having a great start to your week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,
Connie
