Purple appeals to me on many levels, so it’s a mystery why I use it so rarely. This monochromatic birthday card is just darling!
The Stickles on the bowl gives a hint of frosty shine to the card, and coloring was done with Copics.
George swam the Mackinac Bridge faster than anticipated, and he gave me a thumb’s up sign afterwards. The finisher medal is super cool: a piece of the actual bridge, acquired when bits of the bridge were replaced.
Being his support for this event was a piece of cake after being his Iron Sherpa through a bunch of Ironman races. First off, there was no bike tire pump to carry around during the swim and no sticky, sweaty bike to retrieve from T2 (the second transition area) and roll back to the hotel. Second, while our day did start early, George finished the swim around 9:45 a.m. His last Ironman in 2016 started even earlier and ended around 9:45 p.m.
THAT was a long day.
And here’s a random Lily picture. How this dog sleeps in these weird positions is beyond me. If I sleep even a little awkwardly, I struggle for the whole day. Dogs are much bendier than humans…especially middle-age humans.
I do love the colored base. Made a very calming (and yummy ice cream) card 😀
ReplyDeleteLove your card. Congrats to George - and "way to go!" to you for being his support team.
