Sponsorship for Paper Playtime Challenge

We are sponsoring the Paper Playtime challenge this week!   The theme is anything digital goes, so come on and pop on over to Paper Playtime to play along for a chance to win some digital coupons to various stores, one being from Doodle Pantry!

I created this card for us to be inspired.  I am using the newly released grave image from the He Is Risen digital set. Sentiment from the same set.

 Inside of card:

 Close up of image:

I colored the yellow sunbeams first and allowed those to dry completely before I colored the rest of the image. I added the other colors away from the sunbeams and blended with the waterbrush starting at the color and moving toward the sunbeams and then directly over the ends of the sunbeams.  If you are attempting this, it does take some practice.
I hand drew all the stitches, as I was creating late at night and didn't want to turn on the sewing machine.

Thanks for visiting us today!  I hope you found a little inspiration to go create.  See you at the challenges!
