I See Clearly...Seriously!

I'm squeezing in my Blogger's Challenge card just in the nick of time.  I finished it last night and had to let my Crystal Effects dry before photographing it.

Our challenge this week was a sketch (below).  Although my image was a little larger than the panel suggested, I'm pleased with how it turned out.  I had my cousin's daughter in mind when I was making this as I just returned from a visit with them and my cousin's 2 daughter's let me bunk in their room with them.  They were so sweet and this image just reminded me of Marlie.  I added the sentiment as my cousin told me this is her favorite thing to say.

I have another one posting tomorrow for her sister who loves shopping and high heel shoes, so hopefully they will both like the cards I send off to them.  I really enjoyed my visit with my cousins and their families, even though it was for a night and we share so many wonderful memories-it was so much fun reminiscing and sharing stories about our kids.

I used some fabric as my strip panels with a messy sewing job but that's how I envisioned doing it so I just went with it.  This image (I See Clearly from Stampotique Originals) is quite large, almost 5" tall so this is a 5.5" square card.  I used my Sakura Souffle pen around the magnifying glass and my Sakura Jelly Roll pen around the handle to give it a little sparkle.  I applied the Crystal Effects over the magnifying glass and love how it turned out.

Going to keep this short today as I've got a busy day and I need to get hopping :-)
