A card - and a sad farewell

Hello there, Sweet Pea Lovers!

After some time on and off, I've decided to step down from my position on the Sweet Pea design team. It was really hard and so sad to make this decision, but there has been so many things going on in my life lately, and I haven't got time for blogging. I'll still be making some cards now and then, but blogging takes too much energy - and I don't have too much of it at the moment. 

I really love the Sweet Pea Stamps, and I hope that I'll get some more space in my life to create more for the design team in the future. The ladies on the team are just amazing, and I feel like they are friends to me - even though I haven't met any of them personally. 

I'll post a card for you that I've made with the super cute image named Dozen Roses from the amazing artist Conie Fong. You won't belive it: I haven't colored it up with Distress Inks!!! I took a class in coloring with pencils and turpentine. So much fun, but this is only my third image colored with the technique, so I've got sooo much learning to do! 

It is a card made for a dad from his two small kids, ordered especially for his 29th birthday. Since it is for a man, I've tried to use just a little embellishments, and still I wanted to make it a sweet card, since it's from his kids.

Here are some pictures: 

The finished card

Gorgeous image - colored up with pencils and terpentine (!!)

And added lots of glitters

The inside

I just want to thank all of you so much for supporting me and leaving so many kind and inspiring comments on my creations. I really hope to meet you all again here in Bloglandia. 

Lots of love,

Randi WS
