Anemone Maiden

      I'm so excited about finding a new progressive challenge, this one at Moondrea Designs (formerly Moon Flower.)   This is the first image given to the players and she's called "Anemone Maiden."  I can't tell you how much fun it was to color her!  I had to go to their Etsy shop and buy a couple more images because I couldn't just wait until September to get the next progressive image.  :-D

     I colored her with my Sanjoki markers, adding highlights to all the pearls with a white gel pen, then cut the image with a Tonic Studios die.  I inked the edges with a Tim Holtz ink pad.  The woodgrain paper for the background came from a DCWV stack (a very old stack which has been in my stash for at least 8 years!)  I printed the sentiment and cut it with an Avery Elle die, then matted it with a scrap of the background dp and trimmed it to size.  The two little flower embellies are from Petaloo.  

     I've already put this one in my stash of birthday cards and I'm sure it'll be used within the next month.  Summer seems to be a busy time for family birthdays around here.

     Have yourself a wonderful day and find some time to craft if that makes you happy.  Stay out of the heat or the humidity and especially the flooding rains left over from tropical storm Debby.

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
