Amythyst

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist Joanne Schempp's called Amythyst (Plate #206).   Be sure you click the link and check out this stamp on the Sweet Pea website because when you see the artist's coloring it's just so different and amazing.  It's so neat to see what a stamp can look like when done in different color families. 


Here's a close up of my coloring of this image, I am using a warm color group, with reds as my primary color.  I used a wonderful background paper from Basic Grey to bring out all the colors and added small amounts of bling everywhere.  The image size is approx 2.75" x 3.5"

    I tend not to drop a comment, however after looking at a few of the remarks on this page
    "Amythyst". I do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or does it appear like a few of these comments appear as if they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on additional sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Could you list of the complete urls of your social
    sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    Now I know why Anonymous don't use their real name....How rude!

    Very pretty card Holley and I love the paper. I have to stay away from Sweet Pea though, they are addicting. I just LOVE their stamps.

    Great card Holley yet again. TFS.
    Why do certain people have to be so darn rude, yet not brave enough to put their name to their comment!!
