My entry for today's use children on your card. I don't have much in the way of child images, but the Sketches group remains my most often 'go to' set when I want children.
This will go to my sister. We're trying to reconnect after many years of not speaking to each other. I doubt if either of us know exactly why, but bygones are just that. We have a lot of catching up to do so I will include a little note. Have learned that she also does some stamping.
This is colored w/ Koh-i-noor & Crayola pencils, blending w/ baby oil & paper stumps. I also used the largest oval nestie & the CM oval cutting system. Added K&Co graduated pearls.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Karen, What a beautiful card to go with a beautiful way to reconnect. I love the coloring and pearls you added. She is going to love this and welcome you with open arms.......I'm praying for your reunion. This is one of my fav. sets. I use it when I'm missing my twin sister who lives in Milwaukee.
