I have a very special friend who has been fighting the dreaded "C" disease for the past several months. She is a pillar in our community and loved and respected by all. But cancer doesn't care how wonderful she is - and that is just one of the MANY things I hate about it. :(
I wanted to send her a little sunny encouragement and I hope this card helped. I have been stretching to learn new things and/or use techniques that I have not used in a very long time - like distressing. The Coredinations card stock is great for that because the white core comes through the color when lightly sanded - and I love that look with this card.
The digi image is another beautiful flower from Power Poppy - Climbing Clematis.I used the Spectrum Noir color blend pencils and gamsol to blend the colors together. I had forgotten how incredible relaxing it is to color with pencils and I am determined to do more of it. I just need to make more time. I traced the image in SCAL and cut it out with the Silver Bullet and purposely left a bit of a shadow around it. The "thinking of you" is a Hero Arts stamp, colored with a Zig Brush Marker to complement the background.
Love the closeup of the butterfly and all of the colors. The rhinestones
give the butterfly that little bit of sparkle and pop!
I highlighted the center of the flowers with Color Technik glitter gel pens. I love the way they color - so smooth and sparkly. They are my "go to" gel pen because of the wide variety of color choices. Well, I really love the Sakura gel pens, but they are limited in color - so I use both.
