It Doesn't Get Much Better
I think this Thomas Kinkade stamp is one of my all-time favorites. There's something lovely about the water, the filtered light through the trees and the flowers. Of course, it looks daunting to color, but it's actually easy. All the dark portions of the stamped image are the dark shadows, so you start with the lightest colors first and layer in the dark over the dark ink spots. I find it easiest to dot in flower colors and highlight with white gel pens.
Of course, the fun bit of this card is the twine and the fishing fly. I shopped the sporting goods area for a real lure. To make it safe for a card, I used a wire cutter to remove the hook.
I'd love it if you stopped by to see what the other designers are posting today:
