Wildlife Babies

Hello and welcome.  It's been a few days since my last post.  In that space, life has been interesting.  I've been dealing with increased pain from both another migraine and fibromyalgia.  My lung issues have also been active as well and my husband had surgery plus his aunt's funeral is today.  I'm trying to keep my sanity with everything that's going on by coloring; no matter how much it hurts.  I'm trying to remember self care is important.  The card I'm sharing today is from one of those self care sessions.

I started out by stamping my image onto a piece of Hammermill white card stock then colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before stippling Stampin Up tangerine tango and Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress inks around it.  After layering and adding brads, I stamped the hello saying from MFP Stamp Shop (now closed) to finish it off.
