A Flower For You

A friend and coworker of mine has been dealing with some really tough stuff the last couple years and she's recently had to take some time off work. This card is for her. I hope it makes her smile. I have to say, it's been a long time since I used markers or copics. I've pretty much been sticking to stamping so I felt a little rusty. I loved how the image turned out using my blender pen and the SU markers. I coloured directly on the watercolour paper just slightly and blended it and I was thrilled!!

This Too Shall Pass

It's been a rough summer for our family, especially hubby. We lost another parent, my stepfather in-law. In just over three months he lost both fathers (his stepdad of 40 years), his father suddenly and his stepfather after a very long hard fought battle with cancer. This card was for my mother in-law.
