Hi Everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend! We went huckleberrying on Saturday. We didn't find a lot of berries (enough for huckleberry pancakes Sunday morning with more left over), but it was really nice getting away for a picnic and drive.
Today is my dad's birthday so I thought I would share the card I created for him. He has a large garden and really enjoys spending time in it. So, I thought this image from Lili of the Valley was perfect for his card. The image is called Vegetable Patch.

Sorry, I'm not very good at commenting, but you're definitely not talking to yourself LOL!
Fabulous card, that's such a great image
I am sure your Dad loved the card, it is fantastic. I haven't gone Huckleberry picking in many years. I used to make Huckleberry Cream Cheese muffins. Now you have my taste buds wishing for some. Have a good week.
This is wonderful! The image is adorable, your coloring is amazing, and I love the masculine touches.
Great card Niki I'm sure it will be very well appreciated

WONDERFUL card for your Dad! The image is great and the coloring amazing, as usual. :)
Hi Niki!!! Wow wow wow! This is so GORRRRGEOUS! Absolutely FAB colouring and I know your Dad must've been tickled silly to get this special card from you! :) Loooove it!
Big Hugs,

WOW, Nikki this card is beautiful and your colouring is stunning!
I just wanted to ask, I understand you made your own marker with BG70 & BG72, could you tell me roughly how many drops of each?
I get 3/4 BG70 & 1/4 BG72 but I don't know how many drops a sketch marker holds!
I would really appreciate your help, hugs

Hi Keeley. Thanks so much! When I create the custom markers, I create the refills in an empty colorless blender refill bottle. I just fill it 3/4 full with BG70 and 1/4 full with BG72. Shake it up and then use the refill bottle to fill an empty sketch marker. Hope that makes sense.
Absolutely gorgeous, your new follower

Oh, Niki! This is gorgeous and so wonderful! You dad surely loved it (I see!), and your coloring really is exquisite, along with the wonderful layout and detail! Truly a work done with great love!! I love your idea about mixing B70 with B72...need to do that. And your clouds! Wow! Just love the. Assume you did those first? Thanks for sharing this sweet, heartfelt card! Hugs!
