Flash Back - a bit

 
Good Morning!
 
I hope this finds everyone well. We have been dealing with a lot of things at our house that have taken up quite a bit of my time for the past couple of months, but as of yesterday, it looks like we have finally gotten the bigger issues resolved - phew! At least now I can breath!
Even though I have a few projects started I haven't been able to complete a new one as of yet. Hopefully this weekend I will have one finished now that I can concentrate on something.
You know how things just kind of blend into the background after awhile?
Well, I was at my Dad's house the other day when this card caught my attention. It's been sitting on my Mom's shelf right where everyone can see when they come to their home. It has had this place of pride for about 3 years now. And even though she is gone, my Dad has left it on that shelf.
 
I made this for her birthday:
 
 
The image is 'Baby Fairy with Ladybug' from Mo's Digital Pencil (at least I'm pretty sure that's the name of this digi!). I absolutely adore this image! But it always looked like a little boy to me. So I colored it purple - with my Copics - and put a tiny bow in 'her' hair.
 
 
This was also my first attempt at layering. It's very hard to get the proper affect with pop dots lol. I also glittered her wings.
 
Here's a really close up:

 
Well that's all I have for today. Now I'm off to try and finish at least one of my many projects!
 
Happy Crafting!
Christine

  1. Your card obviously brings such comfort to your dad. What a lovely tribute to your mom. The image is lovely and the layering of your card is great. (I'm pleased things are starting to get back to normal for you - whatever "normal" is for any of us! Christine xx
