When I saw Lori's sketch at Seize the Sketch this week,
I knew I had to play.
Take a look.
You can't get much easier than that!
I pulled a piece from my UFO (UnFinished Objects) box.
It fit perfectly.
The design image was inked with markers and stamped.
I touched up a bit with the markers
and added some butterflies from my butterfly box.
is MAGIC
I feel like it's magic when I can ink a stamp with markers
and it looks like it was painted.
I saw a quote on the Stampingpeace blog that I loved
and asked to share on with my readers.
"The woman who works with her hands only is a laborer.
The woman who works with her hands and her head is a craftswoman.
The woman who works with her hands, her head & her heart is an artist."
~ St. Francis of Assisi*

I have never done an image with markers...but I am going to try! Love the look of this!
Precious and so pretty! Love all the tiny butterflies. Great stamping with markers.

I really love the pop of the primary colors against the white, it's stunning!
Also love the quote by St. Francis, he was always one of my favorite saints since I was a child.
Great card Bonnie. The tilt on the panel really sets off the card perfectly.
I'll have to give that a try..it's so pretty!
Absolutely stunning and beautiful Bonnie. How I wish I'd bought that stamp as you have coloured it perfectly. I love the vibrant pop of colurs and wonderful quote.

What a lovely garden on paper. The colors on the white are perfect. Brought a smile to my face.
Perfect use of a piece from your UFO box! Love the cheery colours and the addition of the butterflies.
Gorgeous focal point, Bonnie! Love the look--need to color my stamps more often.
And you are a fine artist, too, Bonnie, as is very evident by this beautiful card! If I didn't know better, I would think it was painted!! Hugs, Darnell
Simply beautiful and a great take on the sketch Bonnie - love the colours and the SU EF (I finally bought it - just in time before it was retired - Yaaay)!
