For You Dear Friend

Sorry I haven't been around much lately! First it was vacation, then trying to play catch up after vacation and this past Monday my uncle had back surgery. He was released yesterday, yea!!!! My parents have been here all week, going up to the hospital and now we are relaxing and hanging out. I love shopping with my mom; we are about to head out again soon. Anyhoo, that's where I've been. (Anna I haven't been ignoring you, I swear!!! :) I did manage to work on this card a little bit each day and I finally finished it up this morning. I have a dear friend who has been sick for quite a few months now. She has had a few serious tests run this week and I made this with her in mind! I followed this fabulous sketch that I found over on Amy's blog. I colored parts of the Gretel Pixie in with Copics, paper pieced some clothes on and went over her wings with Candlelight Shimmerz. She is cut out and raised with dimensionals. I'm so loving this Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper. The colors are so soft and sweet!!! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend!
