It was getting a bit depressing with all the sympathy cards I was making so I figured I'd make a quick and punny one to take my mind off of sadness.

I gave this card to my husband which made him crack a smile. :) I was pretty happy about that smile!
Colored this with markers... didn't come out as bad as my water color! The image is from MelonHeadz Illustrating.

I was also gonna enter this in Kaboodle Doodle's Mystical Creatures challenge, but I was too late. :(
'Till next time!

Hi Cely,
You had left a post asking if I have a light box and yes I do, but to be honest, I never did it out and set it up for my pics, because it's too much work and takes up too much space.
Instead I use a little OTT Light that I bought on sale at Jo's. It's one of the little pink ones and THIS is a link to one that's pretty much like mine. It's also great to use for coloring at night!
I typically place my card on top of a piece of matching cardstock and also put another price behind it. Lots of others stage their cards in a similar way and often will add little matching elements to the picture! I know that nice white linen of silky background can look nice too. I find if I stand my cards up, they come out best, and I take the pics without any flash. The OTT light is very bright and pretty close to natural!
Hope that helps and hope you are doing okay!!
Hugs,
Lis
