Sunshine for Your Day

Photo Details

Poster: jkanack

Colors were still difficult for me but that's why I did another one! I'm no quitter!

I came up with an idea for the tea party for Gracie's Mom, Berniece. Sunshine on these winter days will be the perfect antidote to her loneliness. Believe it or not, I've never been to Eau Claire. Well, there are a lot of places in WI I've never been. Maybe I should just drive this card over to her. For some zing, I added some gilding flakes and gold Posca paint pen. It really needed ZING!

btw I discovered I do not have crushed curry, it's mango melody that I have. Too much alliteration going on here.

How beautiful....I especially like the gold flakes! I think I've only been to the Eau Claire Greyhound station on my way back to college....I don't remember much about it...hehe

Such a big, beautiful sun! I love the gold leafing flakes you've added. This will surely warm up a cold winter day!

Jean, my mom would love it if you drove the card over to her! She still bakes cookies and insists you have to eat them! She would talk your ear off...that's for sure! Great card to cheer my mom up with that beautiful sun and gilding flakes!

Well you crushed the mango and the streaks of light emanating from that sun are gloriously golden. I can imagine that a bit of sunshine in your cold snowy clime right now would be warmly welcomed. Love the lavender sky backdrop. Fabulous card and a fabulous card for Berniece.

this came out absolutely gorgeous ! My first thought was WOW - water coloring.. I have to learn to do that... then I read the description. Blending brush and gold flakes... perfection !
