I made a rather clean and simple card for my dear husband Scott who has been making custom size frames for my painting projects :)
My card features stamped flowers from the PTI stamp Botanical Silhouette stamp set:
For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:
It's Day 23 of 30 in 30:
Today I have a 24" x 24" painting to share featuring pretty sunflowers that were inspired by Nancy Medina's Sunflowers and Strawberries DVD:
Here's my first attempt that I shared awhile ago when I was practicing on an 11" x 14" canvas panel:
I purchased the video knowing that I needed to paint a few larger paintings to hang in our front door entry way. I got up the courage to give it a try again on a larger scale. As the canvas is drying, Scott is in the process of making a custom floating frame for this larger painting and a few others ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

Your card is lovely and I know your husband will appreciate it. I love your style of painting and wonder if you're self taught. Not having an art store near me, I am considering learning to paint with acrylic on-line.
Your sense of colour is amazing as all your paintings seem to be nice and bright. I love your brush strokes.
I'm a "silent" subscriber but had to speak out on your work today.

What a great looking masculine card! I never thought to emboss the BS flowers but they look amazing that way! And your painting is just beautiful!
That card is so pretty, Mona! The painting is absolutely gorgeous! Love the vibrant colors. You'll have to share a photo of how your paintings look on your walls accented by your husband's frames.
Your CAS card is stunning! and I am so happy to hear that this gorgeous painting will be framed and showcased in your home!

How sweet! I know he loves everything you do! The bouquet is stunning!
That card is for me just amazing. I love the cas approach and the white embossing with the inky leaves is perfect and I am sure your hubby will be thrilled. I know mine would be <3
Amazing work! Love the colors!
Sounds familiar to me ... you paint and your husband makes the frames. It can't happen that way in every household because you have to be lucky enough for both of you to be so talented. My parents had the same arrangement ... My mother painted and my father framed tham in his wood shop. The paintings are lovely, Mona ... will we get to see the frame?
