My spin on the "passing of time" challenge is using Forget-Me-Nots .
Have you ever forgotten a special holiday, birthday or anniversary? It's a horrible feeling, so this year I am trying to get ahead by getting my holiday and birthday cards done early and it just so happens I will be away on vacation next week, so my time is even more limited.
I paired up my image with some pretty new glittered papers from My Mind's Eye called Deena's Penny Lane. The shimmery purple flower embellishments are from the bridal section at Michaels. They were white but I colored them with my Copics, added some Liquid Pearls to the centers (also white) and then colored the centers yellow with a Copic marker as well (once they were dry).
Thanks for taking a closer look!
Blessings,
Korin

A beautiful blend of colors and papers! I love those forget me nots. I have so many of them in my flowerbeds and love how they contrast with the bright colors of the tulips.

I wishyou luck on getting ahead. I totally forgot birthdays for two months of this year until someone told me about theirs. What a horrid feeling. ME! who makes cards every day. I love the color of yours. It's gorgeous.

Korin this is so beautifully done. This is one my mom really would have appreciated. Think I will make one in honor of her and just keep it. Your card really touched me. TFS!!!
