So Many Birthday’s

Hello Friends, I feel like I have been so out of touch and when I look at the calendar things aren’t looking any better. My son is graduating from high school this year so prom is around the corner, beach week and camps etc. I know everyone is busy too and I really admire everyone who can mulit task and hold it all together. Looks like everyone will be getting late Birthday cards and this is the first of the batch.
My goal was to start the card with a sketch challenge and I found one at Simon Says here.
I used digi image from The Greeting Farm available here  and pulled out my Copic markers. I added scales with a Spica glitter pen and the hair is all glitter. I wish you could see the shimmer. I hope you aren’t getting tired of my dots….I just can’t stop myself. I have been a doodler all my life and that’s partly why…just have to add my doodles.
Have a great start of the week. Hugs,Kathy

    Beautiful work Kathy, and I love the added personal touches of the scales and dots. The dots are exceptionally nice because of the graduating sizes. Lovely coloring and love your stitching too!

    The thing I like the most about this card is the way the wings extend past the edges, and do so in both layers. I like the dots a lot, and the use of both copics and glitter. Well done!
