Finally - A Card

I'm still busy getting back to life here at home but I did manage to get a card made for one of my friends that just had surgery.  My friend, Allison, sent me an adorable set from Hero Arts called World Dolls and I wanted to use an image from it for my friend's card.  This set has many sweet images of dolls from other lands.  I saw so many "tag cards" during December and I always wanted to try making one but just never got to it.  Thought I'd do it for this one.  The tag can be removed and used if the recipient so wishes.  I used a layout I saw on a card by Kim O'Connell but couldn't find it on her blog.  She does wonderful work, though, if you want to click on her name and have a look.

I wanted to try to show the detail on the image - Glossy Accents on the flower in her hair and Diamond Stickles on ta-tahs.  Sorry the photo isn't clearer.

So far, this has been a very mild winter - cool temps but no snow.  February can sometimes be brutal, here, though, so I'm sure we'll see some snow and ice.

My next post will have a little contest in it.  I have an extra "Shadows and Shading" book by Marianne Walker.  If you use Copics you may want to enter to win it.  Stay tuned.

Thank you for dropping in today.  I love it when you visit.

Blessing from Yesterday:  Being able to rest in the afternoon - I'm still tired from our trip.
