My First Card Order!

Last month, I received my first card commission! (Well, you know, other than my husband occasionally mentioning a card that I could make for someone, usually right away. :P) I had sent this thank you card to a family friend back in June, and received an email asking if she could order some! When I wrote her back to ask how many... she said twenty-four. GULP. Fortunately, not all twenty-four had to be exactly the same. Eight looked like this:

And eight looked like this:

Yes, that's SIXTEEN roses coloured with Prismacolor pencils and cut out. Here's what they looked like when they were all done:

And then, three more roses, but these were easily coloured with Twinkling H2Os:

I think I'll be taking a break from this stamp for a little while. ☺
To finish off the two dozen cards, I made three of these:

And finally, two of these:

These leaves were inked with three colours of Colorbox ink and stamped -- not hand-coloured! ;) 
It was very exciting to be asked to make cards by someone... but I was also very glad when the last one was done. ☺
