My Aunt is going home today so I thought I would make a thank you card for her as having her here has been such a help, and she has been brilliant company for me.
I have been so shocked and upset hearing the story of the poor Mother & Daughter who died alone in Hereford, I just keep thinking about how that poor girl must have suffered, starving to death alone in this day and age should never happen, I hope it gives us all a jolt and we realise the importance of being a good neighbour, not a nosey neighbour there is a difference, perhaps if someone had noticed that they hadn’t seen the mother for a few days this terrible tragedy would never of happened.
Well with that off my chest I will get on with telling you about this Thank You card. I have used the cute Lili of the Valley Bear with Bouquet for this image and have used copics and Prismas to colour the image:
Bear – E13, E53, E51, E50, Flowers – R27, R05, R01, R00, Wrapping – B15, B11, B10
I have been asked by a number of you to do a tutorial on how I use both colouring mediums, I will try to get one done over the weekend.
The lovely papers are from My Minds Eye Out and About Pad, and I have used a Martha Stewart Border Punch. The Cherry Blossom and 10mm Roses, flat backed pearls and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I have got to finish painting the bathroom today and then I am so looking forward to getting back into crafting woohoo!!!
Hugs and thanks for your lovely comments

What a groegous thank you card, bet your aunt loved it! I completely agree with you about the very sad story about the mother and daughter, I cannot believe that this happened, I hope my neighbours think I am a nice neighbour x
Wow - so pretty and just lovely details, as always.
I absolutely agree about that story in Hereford - I just cannot believe it can happen - unfortunately I also think it is society - people can life next door to somebody and never speak to them. How awful is that ..
Take care
Hugs
