I named this card inspiration....this card came together from ideas from various stampers. The digi was a gift from my friend Gail, who always inspires me to try new things. Last Saturday, Audrie gave us a board with CAS cards. This is the last one on the board , and it immediately drew my attention. She has taught us to decorate envelopes, and this card shows how to decorate the back of the card. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111662078345/
Kathleen asked us to make a card for someone special. This will be going to my cousin who is going through kemo.
Using the digi in the MDS program, cropped part of the image for the back of the card. Printed, and colored. This is my second attempt at this card. The first one bit the dust.....had it all colored, and then doing the pen and ink calligraphy.....screwed up. This was Saturday. Today, gave it another try. TFL

Be still my soul, be still.
this is so pretty and wonderfully colored, Ms. Linda. I love how the trailing flowers carry over onto the back side of your card. I love everything about this beautiful card. Well done, my friend.
