Well, I've finally finished this card! Life has been good the last couple of days, and that basically means that time has flown by. My husband starts his second cycle of treatments tomorrow, so soon it will be a different story....but maybe this time it will be easier. At least we know what to expect and how to deal with it now...hopefully.
My card today portends the end of summer, when the Canadian snowbirds (retirees) head south to warmer climates to avoid the dreaded cold! That's my take on this fun image from Just Inklined anyway, and you can find it here. It won't be long now until the migration...lol.
I've used a couple of Stampendous stamps on the backgrounds. The Marble Texture Cube to create the crackle effect, and the Foliate Quad Cube for the leaves. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and Copics, depending on what colours I had, (I think I need to go shopping again!) adding some shading with my Prisma pencils. He was a fun old guy to colour up...
Hopefully this week I will have some time to craft, and maybe even a chance to visit your blogs. Thanks kindly for all your nice comments.....and have yourselves a great day!
