Just Breathe

Good morning!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I'm still not feeling great, but I am going to try to rest  today and shake this thing.  Before I do, I'm popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges.  It is for the new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability Blog, which is a sketch challenge, and this week's The Play Date Cafe Challenge #126 (color inspiration).

Here is the GI sketch:


And here is the PDCC color inspiration:


Here is my card:


I started with a card base of SU Cool Caribbean and layered with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Chapter One 6.5 x 6.5 pad.   My image is Lotus Does Yoga from Guylou's Inimitability.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A bit of gray satin ribbon, a shell button and a few pearls finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend and see you soon!
