I Am Still Around

It has been quite awhile since my last post.  Quite a busy summer.  We have had one to nine overnight guests 21 nights so far this month - out of town friends, daughter and family, other grands.  I don't mind the overnight stays, it's the cooking that wears me out! 
Thank goodness I have been able to sit and color every once in a while.  Definitely relaxing for me. This card took several sittings and combines several techniques - copic and pencil and also the use of neutral copics - both techniques that Allison Cope showed us over at Power Poppy.  The image I used is also from Power Poppy.
The "happy birthday" die  is by Memory Box.  After cutting it out and adhering to the front of the card, I coated it with Glossy Accents which gave it shine.

Challenges:

Word Art Wednesday - anything
Simon Wednesday - anything

    Whew....it wears me out just reading about your house guests and all the work that goes into entertaining.
    Beautiful card, Marsha! I've been coloring the flower from that free set...practicing with colored pencils. Yours turned out gorgeous!

    Such a beautiful card! Love those fabulous blooms. I'm worn out just reading about all your house guests. I can't even keep up with the cooking for my own family. Haha!
