Serenity is found when you escape to your favorite place.
My father-in-law has been having a bit of a rough time lately.
My father-in-law has been having a bit of a rough time lately.
His happy place was always the lake where he built
a home for his family in the 1980's.
For the past 20+ years we've rented a cottage on that lake so he could "come home" each summer. No one rents their cottage anymore and he can no longer travel from Florida so it's the end of an era.
I used 5093 – Dock Circlet MTF and 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

I made him a card that hopefully brought back some happy memories for him.
He's a retired "IBMer" and decided it was worth an hour commute each way Monday through Friday to raise his family on a peaceful, serene lake. I jumped outside my comfort zone and watercolored this image. I didn't do it the Art Impressions Way but I did use Tombow Markers.
Tombows used:
856, 679, 528, 158, 126, 526, 992, #4 Brush
As a bonus, I also have a card that I made to thank my online friend Ruthan Plant who has sent me several, wonderful, cards and gifts over the past few years!

I used a retired Sailboat exclusive (one of her favorites) along with dies from the 5325 – Sail Mini Dies.
