Brighten the Darkest Day -- for Colour Crazy Challenge Blog

It's Friday, and that means a new challenge is starting today over on the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog. Every Friday, a new challenge begins.  They are always anything goes, as longs as your image is hand colored, using whatever medium you prefer.

Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said Designs. Perfect for spring, get well cards, sympathy cards, birthday cards, encouragement cards, ANY type of cards is this beautiful digi, African violets.  I used it to create this encouragement card:

I colored the African Violet image with Faber Castell color pencils on Kraft.  I really like the look.   The front stepper card is a die from Sizzix.

Papers and sentiment  are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The papers are from the Rainbow Skies Collection. The sentiment is one of sentiments in the Encouraging Words sentiment set.

A little twine  from May Arts finished off the card.

I hope you join us at Colour Crazy Challenge Blog for this week's challenge.  Every challenge runs for 2 weeks, so if you want to get in on the challenge with this week's wonderful sponsor, you have 2 weeks!
