Flourished Peacock Just for You

The clear peacock set from Hero Arts made it into my last order, and here's the first card I made with it. The coloring is easy (done here with SU turquoise and green galore markers), And I love this sentiment.


A nasty cold is kicking my butt, so I just can't muster anything clever right now. I'm falling in love with Puffs Plus with Vicks. How sad is that?

I do want to thank those of you who have sent Christmas cards to the Hammetts. I've delivered several already and got another one today. Y'all are so kind to reach out to this family that's hurting for the holidays. Big hugs.

Also, big thanks to everyone who sent cards to the North Dakota State Penitentiary. I received a card from one of the inmates thanking all of us for adding some cheer to their holiday season.

Well, my nose feels like someone scrubbed it with sandpaper, I'm coughing and sneezing, and my throat hurts. But just thinking about how nice you all are is making me feel better. Today's card is for all of you...wishing you all things beautiful.

So sorry you're feeling down. Can't tell from your card, though; it's beautiful! That peacock was just made to color, and you did an awesome job, especially for someone who doesn't like to color. I love the sentiment, and the font of the sentiment. It really goes with that peacock! Lovely job, Susan.

Susan said...

Thank you for "sending" that card to all of us. What a wonderful sentiment! And perfectly paired with the peacock. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
