Blogger's Challenge: Sketch

Better late than never right?  I'm a bit behind this week from traveling for work and procrastinating, but I finally got my card finished last night.  It's one that is a little out of my comfort zone, but I like how it turned out.

This week's blogger's challenge is a sketch.  I'm usually all over these as they are my favorite, but Lisa loves her layers and this one stumped me just a little.  I decided that the sketch is my starting point and I took a few liberties changing the focal image to a rectangle instead of keeping it square.  I also flipped the sketch.

I first embossed my image on watercolor paper and then started coloring it with my Aquapainter and inks.  As I was going along I would wipe it off and put more color on until I achieved the colors I wanted.  I'm thinking next time I'd do the darker color throughout and a brighter color on the flower.
