Peony Bouquet

Update:  June 2 - I just found out I won an honorable mention from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff owner of Stamps by Aurora Wings.  Thanks so much Mitzi.  

Happy Monday My Sweet Friends

It's Memorial Day here in the U.S. and a day of reflection in honor of those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe.  They are true heroes.  



Peonies are one of my most favorite flowers.  I used a digital image from very talented artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  I colored it with Copics and am pretty happy with the results.  I did color the inside of the flower with a goldish yellow however you can't see that in this photo.  I decided it was time to jump into the deep end and just have fun.  It was a liberating experience and I am so eager to keep learning and grow stronger in my artistic skills.  

I used the following Copic colors:

G05, 07, 09
RV21, 23, 25, 29
Y32, 35, 38

You can find this gorgeous image and so many other's at Mitzi's Etsy Shop and here are the links:


I really appreciate your taking the time to stop by and saying hello.  Your comments and feedback mean the world to me.

    Beautiful coloring on the Peony image, Laine! I love how you put the peonies against the pink and black stripes for a bold and unforgettable look. It's also nice to see a mention of the Memorial Day for what it really means. I see people treat this day like the 'first opportunity to get out of town' and nothing else all too often. Thank you for joining our challenge at Aurora Wings! Mitzi xx

Fight Like A Girl - Pink Power

  My blog candy giveaway is under post Challenge #35  Hello dear sweet friends -  I am taking a little detour today from my usual type of post to share something that is near and dear to my heart.  As you are already aware October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Well I want to do something to help spread the word about the importance of mammograms.  Believe it or not there are still a lot of women (and men) that we can reach together.   I am a breast cancer survivor and today September 18th  is my six year anniversary.   Six years ago I was driving to work listening to my favorite Christian radio station when there was an advertisement for the "Susan G. Komen 3 day/60 mile breast cancer awareness walk.  At that moment in my heart I knew without a doubt I needed to walk those 60 miles.  Now in all honesty - at the same time I was asking myself questions like - Why on earth do I feel so compelled to walk those 60 miles fo...
