art © joanne sharpe 2011I love Joanne's use of bright colors. Her whimsical drawings and hand-lettering just make me smile! And what a great quote, too. Very touching for me personally with my new change in career. Be sure to pop over to her blog so you can take in more of her awesome artwork, my friends!
Here is my take:
The background and flowers on this card were colored using Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Markers. So that I could have a watercolor look, I colored with the markers on an acrylic block, spritzed with water, and then painted the color on using a paint brush. I also added just a bit of white with a white gel pen on the tips of the petals of the flowers.I drew the border, grass, and some extra doodles on the flower image using a extra-fine tipped Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft PITT Artist Pen.

Oh, and shall I give you another hint about my BIG announcement coming soon. Let's see, how about this?
Thanks for visiting! HUGS!

Joanne's drawing is absolutely beautiful!! Jill you captured the hand-drawn and doodled effect gorgeously in your card!!
Great card!
Your announcement... Could it be that you'll be making a DVD (=the first hint) and it's going to be a tutorial/teaching (=the second hint) and it's about heart surgery (=today's hint)? LOL!!! Just kidding with the last one! ;D Can't wait what it is though :)
Just beautiful, Jill. Joanne's card is definitely a masterpiece (hand drawn!!!) but I love your interpretation of her card. Beautiful!

Jill the water colour effect is stunning on this card, Joanne is a really talented artist too!
Oh how I wish I had good handprinting! Joanne's artwork is amazing, and your take on it is equally as stunning. And your clue ... a heart ... might it have something to do with Heartwarming Vintage?
Wow, I love the vivid colours that Joanne uses and your take on her card is fantastic.
Thank you ALL for your sweet and kind comments! I am delighted to share with such a wonderful creative like Jill!

Big announcement?! Oh goodness, I couldn't be more excited for whatever it is. I hope you'll be designing product! That would be so cool. Your card rocks today, as always. I love how you took the awesome sketchy style of her hand-lettering and drawing and translated it so easily into your card. I love the flicks of ink around the card - are those the big brush markers as well? Thanks for sharing!
whoaaaa......thank you Jill for introducing us (well, me at least :) to Joanne Sharpe...I have never seen her work before and wowza...really, seriously WOWZA! and your take on her card is uber cool....it is like a painting and love that you "greened" the space between the flower stems....great detail.
WOW! love them both!
Thanks Jill.

Gorgeous water color effect Jill. I love your card and the original artwork is stunning too. TFS
So I check out your blog as I do every day and surprise of all surprises I see my friend Joanne Sharpe as your inspiration! Joanne and I live a couple of miles from each other. For years I've assisted her with the signs she creates. She not only is a creative person, but she's as wonderful friend to all. Thanks so much for recognizing her as an inspiration and for inspiring me with your creativeness as well!!!
Joanne's card is really really bright! I like your take on it :)
