Romance

It's Spring!  Time for greens and purples and lots of white . . .

When the original image could use a little more definition, I've learned that it's OK to cheat and add in a few touches of your own.  In this case, the leaves on the die cut were looking a little flat:  too much broad, uninterrupted surface.  So I put in a few dots and sketchy lines to suggest veining.  As subtle as it is, it made all the difference.

Over the years, I've been amazed at how many times a few dots have saved the day.  Tiny and therefore non-threatening, dots are easy to add even if you're a little timid about your drawing skills.
