Dream

It's the first day of April! 15 years ago today, I married my bestfriend on his birthday! It's a double celebration for us BUT because of my post-surgery dietary restrictions, our anniversary/hubby's birthday dinner will have to wait until (maybe) next week!

~*~*~*~*~

Today, I'm sharing with you a card I made using Princess of the Valley from the Princes & Princesses collection. I color Tilda with Distress Ink Re-inkers on Arches HP 140lbs paper.
The flowers used are all from Wild Orchid Crafts EXCEPT for the Lilies of the Valley -- I made them myself!  :)  And if you scroll down, you can watch on video how I made the flowers.

 Here's the video!

This is how I made the Lilies of the Valley! I do apologize about this video (lighting/glare/noise) because this is my first time to make a video like this!

Flower Card

Here's another card I made today.  This is my second one after my surgery. I think, the pain medications I took worked for me but for the most part, what really helped me forget about the pain and the discomfort....is the time I spend coloring and inking up stamped images! It is just so relaxing. And I'm sure there will be a number of you who will agree with me on that!

I have been coloring Tilda's for a while but I haven't colored her with black hair.  So this is my first time to color her hair black. And this time, I used Copic Sketch Markers to ink her up!

Welcome Spring

Today is my 3rd post-operative day (3 days after my surgery) and even though I am swollen beyond recognition, I'm doing fine...I guess. I'm way past my strong pain killers and just taking some Motrin which is good because it doesn't make me sleepy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This is my card for you today.  Tilda is from one of the Christmas collection from Magnolia.  I'm just not quite sure which.  In the image she has holly leaves and berries for her pigtails that's why I have to cover them with some green/white twine.  I used Distress Ink Reinkers to color the image.
