It has been a hard couple of weeks for my family. While navigating medical emergencies and several other events, I also lost my uncle/god father to leukemia. I made this card to send to my aunt.
I used the eclipse technique for the word "LOVE". The video from Jennifer McGuire was very helpful in learning and using this technique.
I originally was coloring the floral heart digital stamp as a way to take some time out for myself. I used some of the techniques I learned in classes from Kit and Clowder, but I mostly wanted to color and try to relax for a little while.
I liked the way the flowers turned out (although the cast shadows are a little dark) so I decided to use the image for a card.
Thank you for stopping by!
