Enhance a Printed Sign

Hello Friends! I am back! How are you? Sorry to be MIA for so long. I have just barely been squeezing in some coloring. Got my daughter moved into her apartment Monday. I am running on 5 hours of sleep. Honestly I don’t know how you non sleepers function. My twin sissy and I had a day to drive to NY and drive back. I have an electric car and whew that added a few hours to everything. By the time I walked into my house it was 3am. Not a good plan and not safe …. I am not a good night driver and won’t do that again!

The bridal shower my sister–in-law and I are hosting is Saturday at my home …. after Saturday I should be able to chill and color more! She found a speciality drink so I made a sign to have by the drink station.  It felt good to add a little more color to this graphic I created in Canva.

I printed two and cut one out to pop on the sign. You might be able to tell that I enhanced only one flower with pencils … the one on the bottom.

Here it is popped on the sign for more dimension. I also added a darker pink pencil to one side of each letter for more debth.

Have a good day and thanks for your patience and understanding. I will see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    What a fun shower this will be and how lovely that you can enhance it. Get some rest. No one needs to be run down these days. We all need our strength.

    5hours? That’s not bad. A 30-45 minute nap will refresh you as much as 2 hours, and won’t wreck your sleep the next night. Set your timer! (Sleep disorder queen here!)

    Hi Kathy! What a great idea! I never thought of doing something special like this for a party! Next time, perhaps you could color the image and temporarily attach the words. Then the Bride-to-be will have a colored, authentic Colored-by-Kathy to bring home as a gift! Lovely!

Welcome Friends!
