Today we are sending cards to Sue (coffeestamper). Sue lost her youngest sister and needs a lot of encouragement.
Because I mailed my card a while ago to Sue, I may have used more than the three items we were asked to use on today's challenge....but maybe just one or two more. I wanted to put my card in the gallery with the others and want Sue to know I am thinking of her today.
My card was colored with Copics and I added an embossing folder, a gold sticker, and Spectrum Noir sparkle (clear crystal) to the water. I see the sparkle isn't showing.
I embedded the image by using an embossing folder over it.

Brenda, this is such a gorgeous card and so very meaningful for Sue. Flowers truly do have a calming effect on us, and these are oh-so gorgeous. I love how you used this wonderful gold trim to separate your lovely sentiment from the flower arrangement. The embossed bg adds the perfect amount of texture to your card. ~Karen.

What a beautiful card to support Sue!!! This is important, supporting our friends and other loved ones! Your coloring is stunning!!! I thought it was watercolored, but I am even more impressed to learn that you used copics. I struggle with copics and coloring in general, this is wonderful!!!
I love that you used an embossing folder over the whole image!!! Did you color it after embossing it? I'm asking because the embossing seems to be mainly noticeable on the background... What a cool technique, I love how you've used it here and it provides such neat texture!
Praying for Sue in the loss of her youngest sister, I cannot imagine what she is going through.
