Well, you just can't let an accomplishment like that go unnoticed. So, I made this card for her with my new TSG set, Aim for the Clouds. I'm just tickled by this set...it really appeals to me with it's dreamy hopeful feel. And I just love those striped rows of fields and hills!
I colored up the hills and mountains with Prismacolors and OMS, and framed the scene with a Beaded Circles Nestie which I sponged. Then I mimicked the hills in the design with some designer paper sewn on (Prismas Annalee and Fairy Flora). A little popped up balloon, and some clouds as well as curving the sentiment in the corner gives it a flowy feel.
Thanks for dropping by!
.....Oh and on a family note....thanks for those of you who have asked about my husband's dad and his recent strokes. We just talked to him today on the phone. He's still in the hospital and is doing some good rehab, which is making a difference. We're hopeful they'll let him stay long enough to really help in his recovery, as they are a hour and 1/2 from this major hospital at home.
