This is for today's ABC20E is for Eagle River, WI. The first time I was ever in Eagle River was about 45 years ago, about this time of year. It was the coldest weekend of the winter and we were going to learn how to cross country ski. Many people cancelled for the course and once we were in the woods, it wasn't too bad. Let me just declare that was the last time I cross country skied. Just didn't have the strength and endurance.
Now I've been going back to Eagle River often because my brother and his wife now live there. Eagle River is the snowmobile capitol of the world. It is a kind of a 'fudgy' city. What does 'fudgy' mean? Fudgy means it's a tourist city because there are two fudge stores right across the street from each other and they call tourists 'fudgies.' Gotta buy fudge in a tourist town, ya know!
The bottom of the card is an ombre watercolor. The top is blended DOx inks. The rest of the sentiment is inside: her secret is patience.
Thanks for the challenge. PS I used today's sketch and yesterday's teaparty for this but I already uploaded a photo for that challenge.

Wow your card is beautiful Jean and I loved reading your story. The BG is gorgeous and I love how you highlighted your Eagle with the doodled frame. I also love the creative take on the sketch challenge. Awesome card.
