Paint Party Friday - 21st Birthday Card

A lot of my daughter's friends are turning 21 this year, so I've been making these cards for them.  Acrylic (4 1/4"w x 5 1/2"h).  I took a photo because the some of the colours  show up better than on the scan.

Linking to Paint Party Friday.

You are excellent motivation for my artistic bent!
I'd been sketching when sitting with hospice clients. I haven't one now. I ought to just go outside and sit with my sketchpad!
