Mimi Pat gave this week's TSC to make a card that showed our travel dreams. It has to have critters, twine and no P I N K. I used an image that Pat sent me a long time ago and colored it with copics and a white gel pen. Then I used a page from an acid free scrapbooking calendar for the background. Punched the corners with a MS punch and mounted all this on purple CS. Still needed a little somin-somin so I added pearls and also trimmed the sentiment panel with them too. Then I remembered I needed a "critter" in there so I got out another set of stamps and added two different sea gulls. Placed the smallest piece of twine I could find in the lower corner and viola; done and no P I N K.

Awwwww, Tater!! LOVE this - and it looks like you would like to be down at the beach with a lot of water right about now!! How you incorporated the blues and purples together is gorgeous, and the punched corners and pearls look fantastic! I love the sentiment - I know it always refreshes the soul to think in a childlike way, and that is how I saw you "wishing" in this precious little girl! LYMI
Let us know how you are and that you are safe!! Praying!

Woo hoo, Tater, we were wondering about you and how you are and what's going on with you.
Your card is just darling and I love the image and the sea - and it's colored wonderfully. I love the added pearls - pretty touch.
My card has a shade of purple - I used Prismas to color it - but it's a bit lighter than I thought it would be - but REMEMBER - WHEN YOU SEE IT - THE PENCIL SAID PURPLE - NOT PINK!!
Hugs to you and candles to keep you safe.

What a sweet card and that looks like a great place to be. Very nicely colored my friend. Glad you are safe and God Bless You for all you have done to help others the last couple of weeks.
Praying for rain for Texas.
