Mariposa Gertie

Thanks for coming along with me on my week of inspiration at One Stop Craft Challenge. As you've noticed, my mom was a very important person to me and continues to help direct my life from heaven. This is my last creation for the challenge and I appreciate those of you who took time to play along. Check the OSC blog tomorrow to see who won the prize from DewDropz Crafts.

Charisma Cardz #36 ~ Try Something New
I’ve done handmade flowers before, but this was the first time I used paper scraps. The larger flowers are strips of scrap paper scrunched and turned in a circle. The small flower is another scrap paper that I rolled into a noodle and coiled it on a glue dot.

My Creation

Yep, that's the true inspiration for the challenge peeking out next to the card, my mom. My dad is peeking from the other side. I miss them greatly, but am at peace knowing they are reunited in heaven.

Image Detail
I used the feather blending techinique with Copics to color Gertie.
Here's a close up of my hand made flowers from paper scraps.
