Good morning, today I have another card that I have just finished to share with you and enter into some challenges
I have been concerned about losing my ability to colour I have messed up quite a few times but this one turned out ok, I think.
I have used a Birthday Gnome image I am not sure whose it is as I had printed off quite a few images prior to my mum passing away my head is still addled and could not find out which folder I got it from and I have loads of folders.
However, I coloured it with Nuvo markers, the papers are from a pad of vintage ones that I purchased from a local store some time ago, I added stickles to the top of the cake added a stamped sentiment, some black butterflies and Nuvo drops that is a colour match to the markers I used, I folded a spare piece of paper and made a fan of sorts.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
On Monday I was at my mums as I normally am and was talking to my brother when I noticed a circle of cloud in the sky it was unusual because there was no other clouds around, no planes or anything when I looked closer I was astounded to see a smiley face I posted these pictures on both Facebook and Instagram and it was on Instagram that one of my followers pointed out that there was a little heart as well.
I called my brother and he was also amazed, I was a mix of emotions, pure elation and total sadness. I am certain in my heart that this was a message from my beloved mum.
Many thanks for visiting not sure when I will be back probably April with some more DT cards until then I am still working my way through mums stuff and helping my brother and Jess.

A bit late - only just seen this post. It's a lovely card and great colouring too. But the star of the post has to be the cloud formation - how fabulous for you.
Beautiful card, you definitely haven't lost your knack for colouring!
And those photos!! The clouds really stand out in such a lovely blue sky! A sign from your mum that she will always be with you and watching over you xx
