Tuesday morning I woke up at 7:11 ( pretty late) and headed for the craft room to gather the supplies to make my tickle card. I had an handful of "stuff" when the phone rang and the night shift therapist was on the phone asking me if I knew that I was scheduled to work today. I NEVER work on Tuesdays... Sigh, a quick shower and short commute got me there 35 minutes later and 1 hour late to work. Being late earned me the ER assignment, not my usual ICU gig. Long story short, God had shuffled the deck a little so that I was able to pray with one family that I would otherwise not have met. Additionally I provided much needed expertise, education and emotional support to a man with terminal throat cancer and his family. I earned the gratitude of the patient, the nurse and the physician. Isn't the way that God works really cool?!? By the time my day was done I was exhausted, but printed a 40% Mikes coupon to buy the tulle that my brain decided that this card needed. This morning I couldn't find any of the things that I had gathered, including the numbers, so I started again from scratch. I realize that the tulle is a "little" over the top, but by the time that I was done with the card I was too annoyed with myself not to use it. This card can be a counting tool (2 ribbons, 2 ladies, 3 roses, 3 pearls, 3 hearts) or multiplication (2x2, 3 x 3). Colored the image with Copics and sponged, colored the roses with different red Copics then blended in with R000...other than that pretty straight forward. The page number in the upper right is my number. This also meets the monthly CT challenge. PT - 2
Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

I love your card!! Even before I read what you wrote, I thought that the tulle was a very special accent. The whole card has so many neat features, but that tulle just speaks to me. Gorgeous job, and thanks for sharing your day.
