Here's one more that I made this past weekend for Jen's sister Chrissie. Hopefully Chrissie is too busy with her new job to see this.

Jen this was a great sketch and gave me the perfect idea for Chrissie's card.

Great card, Farley! Love the use of white to make the images pop. Gel pen, colored pencil..??

Thanks Monica. The white is from a Stabilo All white pencil. I have about 6 colors in this line but use the white the most. Love it's coverage. You can use it with water also and will write on paper, glass, plastic and metal. One of the tips I gleaned from Dina Wakley's "Art Journal Freedom"...a great book.

Oh, Farley, this is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. My card to my OWN sister is still in concept form and you've already finished yours! Thanks for being a good friend.

Now about the card...GORGEOUS. Love that white work. Guess we need to drive to Dick Blick again so I can buy one, too. You are such an artist. What are the stamps?

Thanks for posting again.

Very pretty, Farley. That white pencil looks so nice. I had no idea those pencils came in colors.

Aw, thanks everyone. It's one of those cards that just flowed if you KWIM.

For sure we could use another road trip to Blick's in Berkeley. I think I need at least two more of them the way I am using the white. Have Beast, will travel!

About those stamps...I have no idea, LOL. I foolishly took them out of the card to store in my clear stamp storage system and forgot to label them. Possibly Fiskars or Hobby Lobby or something else. I bought them during one of my many bird class trips to Stockton at some point. I will try to find out. The pen line drawings are nicely done.

I have completed 2 for this sketch and like Farley kind of adjusted them a wee bit :roll: These all use mainly Stampin' Up! products.

Card 1 is for a family member on the loss of her mother. I had sent flowers since we were on our trip when my aunt died but for sure need to do something more.

Card 2 is for a masculine birthday - no particular one yet but like Sue I am always needing one.
