Not a Saturday Sketch but a card for you

I have been experimenting some more with markers and a blending pen to create shading.  I used Blush Blossom and Close to Cocoa on the cat to create his shaded fur.  I am still working my a variety of cardstock to see the one that I like the best.  I really like this technique and will continue to use it so I can create depth and dimension on my cards.  Let me know that you…

Anni-Verve-sary 5 a little late

I cannot believe how cold it is here. It got down to 50 degrees last night. We also had a visit from a black bear. It tore up the plastic lid on the dumpster and the campground owner was out there with a pop gun trying to scare it away. It finally left but not after it got into the dumpster. Such exciting times in Deep Creek Lake! Well I have a few more sketches…
