Hello. How was everyone's weekend?I made this card for Becky Ohlers' Compose a Card Challenge. I was sure if I liked how this card turned out at first but then I added a couple of things and am pleased with it. I decided to give it to my mother, she turned 92 today. She was happy with it. She survived lung cancer and also double pneumonia within a year of each and that was 6 years ago. She still gets around pretty good. Sometimes I tell her that she is in better shape than me and I am her care giver, she lives with me. She has to have some stong genes, you see I am the youngest of 10 children. Things were a whole lot different when I was young than it is now. My husband is from the midwest and I was raised in California and he teases me about having more of a farm life than he did when he was young. One of the things that gets most people is when I tell them I had a pet calf. Actually before I was born my dad and mom and older brothers and sisters built the house that I grew up in. It was great!
The base CS looks black but it is Dark Chocolate. I used some PP from Dk Chocolate Remix and took my Ripe Avacado Copic Marker Trio to color the butterflies and left the polka dots cream.
I will leave you with my supplies so I can get this posted.
Have a wonderful day and stopping by to have a look! It means alot to me.
Liz
