Hi Everyone:
I guess you may have thought that I forgot all about you right! That really is not the case but I have been extremely busy working on some projects. Also, I have not been feeling so great lately. I have been fighting off a flu bug for the past couple of weeks. Funny thing is once I feel better, it comes crashing down again. I am feeling much better now though and that is great because I have way to many things to do, to be sick right now! Lol. I also have some BIG NEWS to share next week and have been working on projects that will tie in with this announcement. So please forgive my absence from here and make sure to check back for my news.
I wanted to share a card with you that I made for my brother-in-law who is a Solider with the Canadian Armed Forces. He has been on many trips overseas and have been fortunate enough to return to us each time unharmed. For that we are all truly blessed and thankful. So this card below is to show my family's appreciation for all that he has done for our country and also to show respect for this very special day - Remembrance Day.
Close-up of Flower Coloring
I colored this flower using fine tip markers and I wasn't sure it was going to work really. But I am so happy with the way that it turned out. The white is empty space that I left on the petals to indicate where my light source was and to had high-lites. The shadowing around the flower is something I saw someone else do on their card and thought it wold be fun to give it a try. Not sure if I got this mastered or not. Thanks for looking.
