I've had a rough few weeks and found myself unable to focus on much, including being creative. That's hard for me because being creative is like therapy to me. I woke up yesterday feeling like the storm cloud is passing, and I spent the day in my craft room and it felt so good to be productive. I made this card for my daughter Cassidy, who lost her infant son last March and is really struggling as the 1-year anniversary of that horrible day approaches. I am super proud of her as she fights so hard for justice for her little boy Sage, all while raising 3 amazing little girls and going to school. I look forward to the day that I get to share Sage's story in full!
Here is the card that I made for her, I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:
Inspiration Station #82 - Photo
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes
Moving Along with the Times - Floral
Passion for Markers #826 - Spring Flowers
Path of Positivity #138 - AG/Optional By the Numbers

I absolutely love how this came out - I started by ink blending the moon through the Full Moon Stencil from Spellbinders. I then masked it off and ink blended a night sky around it with Dusty Concord, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. I spritzed with water, blotted with a paper towel, and flicked some Mica Spray Stain on it for sparkle. I printed out Mom's Orchids from Tiddly Inks, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I typed out the quote, printed it, and used a stitched edge rectangle die to die cut out, then trimmed it down to fit the card and attached with more foam tape.
