Happy Thanksgiving

Well here I am after a couple of months.  I was very sick with several different health issues, one right after the other, but I am back among the living now, Thank Goodness.  I am very glad to be able to start crafting again and I wanted to make a card with this beautiful image by DeeDee. This image and sentiment are both from the Bounteous Blessing set found here.   I just love this image and I was so happy that I finally felt like coloring so I used the line drawing, but it does come pre-colored if you'd prefer.  There are also some wonderful other sentiments included in this set also.  I think it would be worth it for you to hop on Deedee's shop over to take a look.

I colored this one with my Copics and then cut it out with SB square die after running my trusty Gold Pen around the inside edge of the die.  I cut the ends of the sentiment pieces and added a couple of cute little stickers.  The papers are retired SU!.  That's about it - I had a lot of fun coloring and it went together very quickly, so now I'm off to try some more coloring.  YAY!!!!!  I'm wishing you all a great weekend.  It is quite cold around here today and is expected to stay that way for the next week so I'll be staying inside and that just means more craft time.

  4. I'm so sorry to hear that you have been having a lot of health issues Donna, will keep you in my prayers!! Glad that you are doing better though, good enough to craft some and do some Copic coloring!! I love, love this image from Deedee's digis, you have colored it up so beautifully. The SU DP paper is just perfect with this image. The black makes it all pop and pulls the eye right into the card. Enjoy getting crafty, you have earned it!! Hugs, Brenda

  9. Absolutely stunning, Donna! Using the gold pen is a fantastic idea. It just spotlights that marvelous image. I do hope the health issues are resolved and that you're going to be posting again regularly. I had 10 days of strep throat recently and thought that was the end of the world. You've really had a long bout of everything. Prayers for you to stay healthy now. :-D
