Good Morning and Happy Monday to You!
Today's card was made for a very special friend and former coworker. I worked with Eva for 13 years, each of us in our own schools in the same school district. We became unlikely friends with very different personalities, but both with a desire to take better care of our students.
Eva has moved on to greener pastures, now in the role of a nurse practitioner. I will miss her dearly. She was our fearless leader, go getter, and best of friends.
She is used to getting cards from me but this one is different as it is a nod to her new nurse practitioner role.
This bear is a new digital image, Healthcare Bears, from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I normally don't do digis as I can never get the paper to feed through the printer well or at all, nor I am I technical person what so ever, but I discovered, without even trying, that Xpress-it Blending card goes through the printer with ease. I drew in a little IV pole behind the nurse, to add a bit of 'workplace' behind him/her.
The bear is colored with Copics, the IV pole is drawn with a a Kuretake Zig Millenium Marker. I even added Glossy Accents to the IV bag, though you really can't tell in the photo. Sentiment is from the God is Bigger Stamp Set.
