This piece in done in watercolour pencils in my art journal (7"h x 5"w). It is a platform bed, a photo of which I found on Pinterest. I was attracted to its clean lines and minimalism and immediately started sketching it. I've always loved canopy beds with curtains. This is a modern take on that theme. Happy PPF!
AND I took Giggles' advice and sent a piece of my art off to Vistaprint for printing some cards. I was very happy with them, and now I am already thinking of giving them as birthday cards to my friends! And I wonder which cards I will make next!

Oh your cards turned out fabulous!! How fun!! The bed is really cool too! My daughter has a king size one like this only higher off the ground! They love it! I have a half canopy on my old bed!

Your paintings are good. You can make a card with the rose painting!
Beautiful card and I love your sketch. Have a wonderful weekend!
Love how your card turned out and that bed is most elegant! Valerie
Just lovely. xx
A friend of mine, who has cerebral palsy, printed some cards that have her photos on them. She sold boxes of them for $17, including shipping. Great way to make extra money.
Hi Christine. Your cards turned out just wonderful. That bed is outstanding! Great job on it. Have a fun weekend and take care. Happy PPF!
beautiful Christine and everyone will love receiving your very own cards, that was a great idea! They will be amazing, straight from your heart an hand! Have the best weekend!
It is a great idea. I've done this with some of my photos, and gave them as Christmas gifts!

Canopy beds with curtains are so romantic, aren't they? I've always loved them - and I love this minimal version, too! Cool cards to boot!

OH I want to sleep in that bed. WOnderful! I like how clean and comfortable that room looks. THanks for sharing.
Very nice sketch, Christine. And what a great idea for those cards. They are beautiful!
Terrific interior with the bed! I have been so interested in all kinds of interiors and furniture lately. I'm not sure why! And Vistaprint sure has a lot of great deals and very often. So fun to try stuff!
Wow, great idea. I love your rose, so hard to do well.
what a fun bed! I wish my house was more 'minimalistic' for sure LOLZ - great drawings and the flowers look so good on the card
Love the bed and the fab card. Happy PPF, Annette x

Wonderful work with the bed, your lines are wonderful! Although I've never had one, I've always loved canopy beds too. Beautiful card! I'd like to make some one of these days, yours looks great!
your cards are great - I've been thinking of doing something like that with my art. Love that simple watercolor painting
What wonderful line work on your rose! I think they are very challenging to draw and paint! Happy PPF!
Ahhhh great idea on the cards. Wonderful art should be shared.
