Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we are hopping along with a color theme. As you can see my cards are just a tad bit off of the color scheme. I hope you don't mind me being a bit off the mark.
I have written and deleted this blog post about a dozen times. I want this to be a happy place for you all to visit, but I can't ignore the fact war rages at this time. I will simply say, that I felt strongly to add the colors of the Ukraine flag today. My heart is so heavy, and I had a hard time creating. My prayers are with the people of Ukraine. Thank you for understand!
On my cards today I used Tims, heavy stock kraft paper. If you have not used this paper I highly recommend it. Oxides work wonderfully on it. and it takes water well. I colored the sunflowers with copic markers, added sentiments and enamel dots. These cards took no time at all.
One more stop on this wonderful hop, go visit my friend Alaine HERE and please leave some love to the other bloggers.
I hope you have a beautiful day, Dawn

Dawn, I am so happy you chose to share from your heart. Your cards expressed so beautifully both the pain and hope you feel for the people of Ukraine. Big big hugs.
I think we are all feeling so much sorrow for the people of Ukraine, and your show of support couldn't be more heartfelt. Adding the blue and yellow to your kraft card was the right way to go, with a beautiful and hopeful result.
Dawn, these are gorgeous!
so beautiful, and a great show of support for Ukraine. I love the look of the yellow and blue on kraft.
Wow... these are just gorgeous!
I like the hope in these beautiful sunflower cards.
I feel your pain too. It's hard to get motivated and creative when there is so much turmoil in the world. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine. I love how you used the colors in the cue, but incorporated the colors of Ukraine too. Just beautiful cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your message and your cards are so moving. Thank you for sharing both with us. Beautiful!
