Flowers in Bloom
Sweet Sketch 12
Color Challenge
The past two weeks have been filled with lots of activities as I traveled to Utah to be with Arlana and Nancy and also to be with my father. It was only the third time that Nancy, Arlana and I have been together since the passing of our mother 4 1/2 years ago. We had a wonderful time. However, the time passed way to quickly when Nancy had to return home. I was able to stay another 6 days with Arlana and Dad. But Arlana came down with a terrible sinus infection. She is a real trooper as we stayed up crafting until the wee hours of the night....which didn't help her any!!! But we still enjoyed the crafting. She will post some of our creations later on.
I came home to a torn up house. We are reroofing and adding a new porch. We have in house gutters so they are being cut off and changed to the traditional gutters.... A major project to say the least.
I am a caregiver to my father in law and yesterday turned into a full day at the hospital so a lot is happening at this end.
I have not had time this past two weeks to even comment on the blogs...so forgive me.
I will try to get back on track this week!
This card was designed for Sweet Sketch Wednesday. This was a fun card. I was wanting to color in a stamped image but I only had SU pens. Since my trip to Utah...I am now a proud owner of numerous Copics so I will be happen to try them out on future cards but you won't be seeing any of them for some time as I have finished my sketches through Sketch 20.
Anyway, I still had fun trying to color the stamped image. Although I can tell that the Copics color much nicer.
Take a few minutes to view all the cards for Sweet Sketch 12 on Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Better yet, create your own card for Sweet Sketch 12 and post it on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday site. Remember it is a color challenge too! Hope you will play along!
Thanks for your comments! Have a great week!
