I've finally felt up to getting a card made but it took so much time and energy that it may be the only one I make the rest of this month. Good thing I had worked many weeks ahead on most of my DT card obligations. :-D
This is a birthday card for a dear friend who loves lavender, especially the flowers themselves, although she's willing to have the scent of lavender in soaps, candles, and air fresheners as often as she can find them. The image is from Beccy's Place and it works perfectly for their optional challenge theme this month - "Flowers."
I printed the pre-colored version of the image in gray scale, then used my Sanjoki alcohol markers and white gel pen to color it. I was inspired by the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday (see below) and dug through the basket of scrap papers to find the two I used. I'm pretty sure they are old (very old!) DCWV papers.
I matted each of them with a solid purple CS, and used another scrap of it right behind the fussy cut image. The sentiment is also from Beccy's Place, but don't ask me from which set because I don't remember.

Your card is gorgeous NanaConnie, such pretty paper! You did a wonderful job working with the sketch too. I'm sorry you aren't feeling too well, I hope it passes quickly so you can get back to doing all the things you love.
Take care.
