Thank You for Caring - OWH S&S Sketch #17


I made this card based on the OWH S&S Sketch #17 and used the wordart image from Creation with TLC.  I colored the image with colored pencils well although the color of leaves turned out differently in the photo.

I was thinking about making cards for those who have been caring about me and this was the perfect image.  Thanks to Paulette for the image!  Thanks to David for his caring about me and enduring patience with me!  Thanks to Doctor P for her experties and listening to my even unspoken words!  Thanks to the kindest nurses at the Pain Clinic!  Thanks to my boss for her consideration!  Thanks to my younger sister for all what she does for me!  Thanks to my special mom!  Thanks to my friends for being there for me!

I have been suffering from the low back pain and very uncomfortable burning sensation in my left leg.  I was told that I have L5 torn disk after the MRI test and recommended to take a Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection (I didn't get it when I first heard this) after a few consultation.  I have been nervous all about one of  millions possibilities if something went wrong as I was pre-warned.  Well... after all, it went well.

Peachy Happy Mother's Day


I made this card for a challenge at the Create with TLC.  This image is from Paulette of the Create with TLC.  It is originally a photo that she turned into a digital stamp.  Although it is supposed to be a plum, I colored it as a peach based on my card below.  I made it a while ago with a photo that I taken when David and I went to picking peaches. The sentiment was from David, my husband.  I thought it could be a nice Mother's Day card, too.  My mother passed away when I was 14 years old so I can't give a crad to my Mom however, I like to make Mother's Day cards for my friends.

I colored the image with Prisma water color pencils.  Only for leaves, I finished with a copic marker.  I used SU corner punch and added pearls.  Happy Mother's Day rubber stamp is from Hero Arts.
