Nature is the art of God

Oh, my allergies! One not-so-nice thing about our Bassets is that they go outside quite often during the day and pick up lots of pollen on their coats and bring it inside. Ugh! I usually don't suffer this early, but I'd better get used to it. It's the new norm for me.

Between sneezing, blowing my nose, doing school with the kids, and keeping up with the dishes and laundry, and feeling utterly exhausted, I snuck in a little card-making time today. I wasn't up to being too elaborate with the design, so I kept it relatively simple. I colored the herbs yesterday when I had some free time. Today, after making this card, I colored an image from SU Seaside Sketches that I will need to make into a card soon.

My absolute favoritest Copics so far are the Warm Grays. I use them to shadow almost everything I color. They are so versatile!

Now that I have a wide array of green Copics it was even more fun to color this image. I don't know that the colors are true to life, but I'm happy with them.

Hope you have a great week and the pollen isn't getting to you yet! The trees are exploding with it here in North Georgia. But all this green shor is perty!
