Linda Coughlin, the funkie junkie said...

Your coloring is so spectacular, Lori. Every card you do is absolute perfection with all its wonderful details! I have to know - did you achieve the 3-D effect with the umbrella by just coloring it or is it actually rippled? It's amazing either way!!

So happy I found time to join in the Whimsey release blog hop.

Hugs,
Linda
