I made this card for one of my good friends that just lost her Dad. He was very elderly and it was expected, but one is never ready to let go of a loved one.
I did the image on watercolor paper (thank you Pat Smethers) and used water colors and twnkling H2O on the surface of the water. Added a little glitter pen to the Koi fish. Blue embossing for the sentiment - In Good Times or Bad,inside says - I am there for you. Added a brass dragonfy brad. Base card is black.
Thanks for looking.

What a beautiful card to let your friend know you are there for her, and with lots of love gone into coloring it I'm sure she will really appreciate it.

Judy, your card is so beautiful and the sentiment is touching. Your coloring is outstanding and I can only imagine how wonderful those twinkling H2o's look! Great addition of the lil dragonfly. LYMI sis.
