I made this card for a friend I went to high school with who is very ill. I feel so bad because he is a single father of a young teenager. Also, I have been wanting to do a card for Mary (jandjccc) the feature stamper this week, but time has been getting the best of me! Mary has a beautiful gallery with so many gorgeous flowers and butterflies!!! This is the lovely card I used for inspiration: IC251 Upsy Daisy #5 by jandjccc at Splitcoaststampers
Mary's card is rectangular and mine square, and I did use different colors. But I am sure you can see the similarities.
I used glimmer mists for the background and the little dragonfly was heat embossed (gold outline) and filled in with Copic markers. I used my large circle punch for the main image and accidentally sat on it and broke it! How is that even possible??? LOL Hubby tried to fix it, but said to go buy another one : ) Well, if you insist! LOL
Again, Mary, you have such a pretty gallery!!! Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek!

Kathleen - this is beautifully touching. I can see the glimmer misting in the background. I hope he gets better soon <3
PS I would walk the 'long' way around the craft store to make sure you don't miss anything else on sale, while replacing the paper punch.

Kathleen, I am a big fan of silhouettes against a beautifully colored background. This is a wonderful example of that. I do hope your friend is improving and that he loved what you created with such love.
