Birthday elephant
I think I do a better job when I am not trying so hard. This is a birthday card for my mom-her birthday is next week and she will be 84 years old. She had a major stroke a couple of years ago and is in a nursing home. She remembers most things - but can't physically get around and her world has gotten so much smaller. She was a very vibrant person - thus all the color (of course I love color too). I just drew this and colored with Copic markers without worrying about whether it was good or bad. I love whimsical animals and I am pleased with this. I hope it makes mom smile. Hope it makes you smile as well. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Gorgeous card, this should cheer that lady! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie - I hope it does - I live 800 miles away (my brothers are local) and won't see her till October.
DeleteThis is SO sweet! Both the card and the reason for creating it - Happy Birthday to your Mother - she is lucky to have a daughter like you, xoxo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin - missing my mom. Got the card and gift out today - it will be a little late but unfortunately mom won't realize it. She's aware but not of dates.
DeleteSO totally cute! Another favorite!
