Cheerful Blessings

Hello, there!  Happy Monday and Memorial Day in the US.  Today we remember our loved ones who've left us and especially, we thank all those who have served, or are serving, in defense of our country and the freedoms we enjoy here.  I have a special remembrance today for my father-in-law, Kearney J. Suto, Jr., who we just lost last Thursday.  Rest in peace, Dad.

 

I am popping in briefly now to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Summer bliss 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Little Garden Sally from Art by Mi Ran.  Mi Ran generously shared her and the background as a freebie to celebrate 300 members in the Facebook Group.  You can find her in the shop now.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a couple of tiny accents with Liquid Pearls.  I colored in the grass and sky with my Copics, too.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few crocheted flowers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great evening and see you soon!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Art by Mi Ran Challenge #6 (anything goes)
Little Garden Sally Facebook Contest (creations with the freebie)
