This is for TLC191 to use pink as our main color to remember Breast Cancer Awareness Month and also to use Twinkling H20's. I really have lots more blue and green than pink but I loved the idea of sitting under an umbrella in the sun along a creek with pink flowers and a radiant glow of hope and expectation. Even though this is for special health aware I thought I would send it to my dear friend, Vicky Gould. I had her in mind the whole time I worked on it. Maybe you could let me know if you think it is inappropriate. I love to give what flows out of my heart and this golden scene certainly did as my heart is full of sadness for Vicky suffering the loss of her Bill.
I stamped the chair and used a brown pencil to highlight areas and then painted with a few colors of *twinks* but never really got totally happy with the color. I stamped the umbrella on scrap watercolor paper to cut so I could pop up over the chair. There are no other stamps involved as I used olive, blue and rose pink pencils to create the scenery around the chair and washed them with the *twink colors*. The olive H20 almost has a gold to it and it reflects beautifully in different light. Sadly none of the gorgeous glow shows up in this photo but all of the H20's create wonderful colors and shine. I used watercolor brushes and pencils to create the scene. www.rubbernecker.com

I think it is so beautiful and peaceful. I also think it is always appropriate to share you love and concern for your friends...how sweet of you. I am saddened to hear about her loss.

I have to post again, because I didn't read your description the first time, bad! I think it is the perfect card for Vicky...it is sooo hopeful and beautiful...but most importantly, you had her in mind when you made it, and that's the best part of all!

Oh Kittie I had no idea Vicky had suffered such a devastating loss. What an absolutely beautiful card to send to her ... she'll be so touched that you were thinking of her whilst making this. You're so sweet.
