Hope You Feel Better Soon *Heartfelt Creations*

Followed a sketch from Random Acts of Creativity. Papers are from Linen Closet by DCWV. 
Ribbon is from Make It Christmas by Hobby Lobby. 

This stamp is from HCPC 3475 Special Delivery PreCut Set. I used Prismacolor pencils and OMS for coloring. I sponged Distress Inks on the edges, Old Paper and Antique Linen. I love using two colors!

I'm forever taking notice of different coloring styles and I've been really appreciating the white space lately. You can see what I've been looking at by monkadunka for Tiffany Doodles and another example from Stamping Down South

These are the pencils I used on the image.

The pretty decorative border is from 123830 Classic Petal Edgeabilities.
