Birthday Cake Anyone?

Another fabulous Sunday!  And with that comes another fun challenge from Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog - Birthdays!

Last night I managed to sneak off to Christine's house for some much needed crafting.  I actually managed to put together five cards while I was there!  Between work, school, and the kids, I have been neglecting myself.  We've been focusing a lot of our family attention on my eight year old son who really has been struggling.  He is such an amazing child with a very unique view of our world which sets him apart from other kids his age.  Sadly, these difference have caused him anxiety and troubles that no child should have to experience.  Fingers crossed, but it looks like in another ten months we should have the answers we've been seeking - gotta love the Alberta health care system and their wait lists.  As I wait, I might as well enjoy myself and relieve some of my stress by colouring!

This gorgeous image is from Lili of the Valley across the sea.  Her name is 'Rosie with Cake' and she is such a doll to colour:

I have followed the sketch over at A Gem of a Challenge.  The papers are from one of my many 6 x 6 paper packs from My Mind's Eye - Vanity Fair.

I tried a different technique of colouring with my copics on Rosie's clothes.  I think I like it.  I'll have to try it again soon.

 

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to see your 'Birthday' creations at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!
