For the teaparty this week, cards are going to a very brave 12 year old who suffers from aplastic anemia. Alex could use some encouragement. Anita is the challenge leader this week...theme Chinese New Year- the dog. Taking one of very first digis purchased- the artist is Lynn Stansbery. They are amazing, and don't think they are on the market anymore. Took the zig markers and colored the image. Computer generated the sentiment. Added some burlap and ribbon along with some enamel dots. TFL

Beautifully colored image! I love this color combo - the dark brown and olive. I almost used the same color combo on mine. Perfect card for this challenge.

Oh, Linda!! What an awesome image! I agree with Susie, I have yet to see such a remarkable piece of art using the zig markers! Your coloring is top-notch, my friend! I love the added burlap, and it matches the color of the dogie so well! Love the card, Linda!

Linda, that's a lovely card and I'm sure will touch this 12 year old's heart. I actually thought you were the illustrator. Beautiful job with the Zigs.
