One of my favorite things to color are images of fruits and vegetables. The colors are always so vibrant and rich, the highlights are distinct and there are just so many wonderful textures happening! This beautiful pea image is no exception. I colored this image using a “watercoloring with markers” technique which we feature on Paper Crafter’s Library as part of our special section on Coloring and Watercoloring Techniques. The intense colors of this technique are just perfect for showing off this beautiful image.

This Peas in a Pod card is too freakin’ cute and love, love the layering! Thank you again for sharing your incredible creativity and joy of paper-crafting!
Such a cute card. I love all the elements, especially the layering!
This is awesome Sophia! Your coloring is amazing & thank you for inspiring me to work on my coloring more….it’s one of my weak points!!!
Hi Andrea and Sophia, I’m so glad you are going to continue on. And now you have another new site to share your talent with us. Sophia, you did a beautiful job watercoloring. Even though I’m a SU demo (I’m my own customer), I love variety. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Andrea and Sophia–just wanted to wish you both the best of luck on your new blog! I know that with the talent and generosity that the two of you possess, anything you start will be successful! Congratulations on the new launch!
I also love fruits and vegetables. Your card is beautiful. I will be visiting your Blog for more inspiring ideas.
So I am not really into veggies, on cards not for real to eat, but it is an idea to use up some of that old green DP that I have so much of. Nice coloring.
Hi guys! Love these cute little peas! Glad to find two different blogs to lurk at now. Thanks for your great ideas!
very nice card, the coloring/shading is amazing! I really need to practice those techniques.
The coloring is just great and I love the peas. I also love the coloring of the blue background and the fine dotted detailes. And finally how you set the peas in the 3-D. Great, as always! Hugs Jasmin
Oh My Sophie…this card is ADORABLE!!! I LOVE IT. I can’t tell you both how excited I am to enjoy another amazing website of yours…It’s a dream come true!!
Andrea and Sophia, I’m so pleased to see you run with this ~ all the best, and thanks for the opportunity to win 2 weeks at PCL ~ Have super fun day!
What an amazing coloring job! Thanks for the chance to win a free 2 weeks at PCL – would love to have a look-see!!!! 🙂
Too stinkin cute! I love the watercolor you did! Watercoloring has become my new favorite technique. Thanks for sharing.
I think i’m going to love this new site. Now that you aren’t limited to SU! products I can’t imagine what we will see. You are both so artistic!
Love this! The colors are so intense and beautiful as always. I love that we’ll be seeing more non-SU products on this site since I own way more other companies’ products. The idea of winning a 2-week PCL membership is wonderful. Also the fact that if you’re already a member, you have the opportunity to win something else is so generous.
The use of layers adds so much dimension to your great card!
Congrats on yours new site. Love the name and I look forward to seeing marvelous creations on here. What a wonderful thing to have your dreams come true. Keep up your great ideas. Thanks. ekc
This card is fabulous! I love the layers and the coloring is SUPERB! I love the idea of this blog! I have stamps, paper and ink from so many different companies. It will be nice to see you both work with other lines. Congrats and I wish you soooo very much success with this!
Great coloring and layering on this card!

Great card. Really like this one.
I love how you colored this card! Beautiful!
Such a darling image, colored to perfection. The layering really adds that pop!
WOW! I love the layer look and your images are so wonderfully colored.
The colouring is fantastic, I’m definitely going to have to watch that video. I love how you have layered the image as well.
I precisely wanted to appreciate you again. I’m not certain the things I could possibly have done without those solutions shown by you about such concern. Previously it was a real intimidating concern in my opinion, nevertheless observing a professional strategy you managed the issue made me to cry for happiness. Now i’m thankful for your work and in addition wish you know what a great job you’re putting in training the others by way of a blog. I am certain you’ve never encountered any of us.
LOVE this one!
