Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I made while trying at the time to "deal" and "focus" on something other than my health. You see, with all of the fires burning in California right now, my asthma is causing some breathing problems. My chronic migraines are also not happy.
The first card I'm sharing I made using the Journey Home digital image from Aurora Wings. My image is colored using both prismacolor and copic markers then highlighted with diamond ice stickles, sand dollar brads, silk flowers, pearls, stickers and small googlie eyes for the fish. My card was made using Stampin Up card stock and the retired Sandy Shells wheel.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Aurora Wings #70 - Sketch Challenge
Outlawz Songs and Rhymes - Little Mermaid
My second card is made using the Snowman Blocks digi from Bugaboo Stamps. The image is colored using both prismacolor and copic markers with Tim Holtz broken china distress ink stippled around it. The card base is made using scrap card stock, and scrap designer paper I've had for years. The borders are dry embossed scrap card stock using the Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder. I highlighted portions of the snowman blocks using a blue gel pen then added some snowflake and bell brads before popping the panel up using pop dots. I finished with three small metal stickers.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Stella Says Sketch #613
Outlawz Festive Fridays - FF081718

Yes, the air has been far from clear here in CA, Bonnie. So sorry it's affecting your health so strongly. Glad you've gotten some relief with coloring.
