Thats just lovely- I wish I was around to take your classes as well, to get some inspiration in person from you (not to mention the Banff weekend! I would love that!!!).
Question- did you colour the pink ribbon with the blue marker?
Thanks
Tracy

This is gorgeous!! The textured bg reminds me of sand and waves ... ahhhhh.

I LOVE this Carole'Anne! You are so artistic and that sunset you created looks real! Thank you for playing along with us and for your support.
Fabulous card!
Smiles,
Lesley :)

Wow! I wasn't sure what the outcome would be in your starter spongings - but the result is spectacular! You are a real artist to dabble and persist until you have a work of art! Maybe us of lesser talent can CASE a bit and get a similar look....
Thanks!

I sooooo want to be here! What a beautiful card. I love tropical beaches and palm trees. Maybe someday... LOL
Beautiful job Carole' Anne! Oh, and I am so casing this one...

Love it...esp. as I', scrapbooking our trip to Cuba....but i can't wait to see the sailboat and its mirror image....looks promising!!!!
Posted by: Wilma B | 08/21/2010 at 07:31 PM
I really really like that palm tree! I was on the fence about ordering it, but since we have another year here in Puerto Rico, I think I will be ordering it :)
BEAUTIFUL card by the way, especially since you started out not liking it :)

wow Sis, you did an amazing job with that card. Kind of like you are sitting on a lanai, watching the sun set, sipping a umbrella drink, tee hee....you are so darned artistic,truly my little Canadian Idol and oh, I wish I lived closer, I would so love to attend all of those classes you have set up they sound just wonderful.
Big hugs to you

For not liking what you did when you started out, I think you did a fantastic job of putting your art piece on a coordinating background and wah-lah! You have another beautiful card. What an honor to be nominated queen for the Royal Blog Tour. I will certainly vote for you as I know you deserve it.

I think this card is amazing. I love your choice of colors.

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful colors! Thanks for playing with the Paper Players this week!
Posted by: Ann Schach | 08/21/2010 at 01:49 PM
How beautiful and you really made it worth the wait. You did an amazing job with the coloring.
I would love to come to your classes. Maybe 1 day I will surprise you.lol
Blessings to you and my cute little furry friends.

Carole'Anne, you have really captured the "tropical" look with your choice of colors. It really was worth re-visiting and finishing. I saw three other "starters" in your pile of circles that I would love to see finished. Always love the "mirror Image" technique. Now I am off to vote.

What a pretty card and like the addition of the pink cardstock too!
Posted by: Mary | 08/21/2010 at 01:19 PM
Carole'Anne - what gorgeous sunsets you created. They were absolutely well worth the effort! You must have been totally in an island frame of mind, cos the views you created certainly reminded me of sitting by the beach with a cocktail watching the sunset.
Fabulous job. Love what you did with this sketch.
Thank you for joining the Paper Players this week - we do hope you will be back again with your amazing creations.
