A Froggy Morning To You All!

The following card is one that I made for a very special friend who has been in the hospital since January 17, 2009....he and his wife(a very special person in my life) went to Arizona for 6 weeks last December and the morning after they arrived home....Mr. D....had a massive stroke.....for the last 5 months he has worked diligently with the physio department was just starting to be able to walk a little on his own....well he graduated to a leg brace and a cane...and low and behold...he fell two weeks ago and broke a hip....so his stay in the hospital will now be a little longer then thought....I always call him my little french frog....so hence the card for today...

 

I actually made two different cards using this same sketch....(I will post the second one later in the week)....I have had this DSP paper in my stash for over a year and decided yesterday was the day to use it....lol...I am learning to use my copics so I have been coloring anything and everything that I can get ahold of.....this was the first image that I colored the other day when I sat down to really use my markers....not bad for my real first attemp at shading and such....although the camera is not kind to our mistakes......

Over all a pretty simple card to do....and I like the way it turned out.....

June 23, 2009, the day I start another new job.....I worked forever like 18 years in my first profession, took an early leave from it...and for the last three years have had three jobs and a business...I am hoping that this new job is the one I am looking for...or maybe I am looking to retire...hmmmmmmmm...just need Cowboy to see it my way...hahaha....wish me luck....I am a little nervous...

Later Gaters!
