Thank you, sweet Benzi, for selecting a great site for the Inspiration Challenge yesterday. I struggled with selecting one photo as there are so many wonderful ones from which to select. After browsing the site a lot yesterday, I decided on this photo of a sitting room. I love the colors in the photo and tried to represent them in the image on my card.
I wanted the image to be the main focus on the card; therefore, I stamped some pine trees in a light gray for the background after masking the image. I colored the image with various blue and green Copic Markers. To finish the card, I added some stamped text and die cut the I Love You sentiment.
This card will be in the hands of my precious granddaughter, Mikayla (4-yrs old), tomorrow! If I haven't shared before, I have a new granddaughter, Sarah. Her name was selected by Mikayla, who also wanted Sarah's middle name to be the same as hers. She was granted her wish! Both girls are so very precious to their Nana!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I greatly appreciate any comments!

Oh, what a lovely scene, Bev ! You've combined winter and Valentine theme in such a perfect way. The boy is so adorable and your coloring is super. I love your color choices and those shades which look real . Light gray background really shows off the scene. Great execution of beautiful design. Hugs.

I absolutely adore the vintage charm of this wonderful scene you have created here. The softly stamped pine trees in the bg is brilliant and really completes the scene so beautifully. Congratulations on becoming a grandmother again- how fun! ~Karen.
