The cards were inspired by this vase, a wedding gift from my cousin. I brought it out the other day when my husband brought me these flowers! |

Card-making Projects: Colored Pencil greeting cards
Here's a quick project that I was working on a week or so ago. I picked up some scrap paper and my colored pencils one night and came up with these little cards. I sketched the design lightly in pencil, then almost entirely erased the marks so they were just visible, then I went over them with a colored pencil, adding some shading here and there. I've never been great at drawing things free hand, but I think these turned out alright! Look below for more photos.

Wow, absolutely lovely! Simple, yet very elegant, with a great splash and choice of colors. I'd love to see how these would turn out on some parchment cardstock :-)
