Here's Dawn's sketch:
and here's my card....
This card is for a friend who has two sons and her oldest is headed to Iraq. Her sons are very close. The younger son is still in high school and wants to follow in his older brother's footsteps. He is really literally mourning his older brother being gone. She asked me if I could do a card that would cheer him up...how perfect was this image!!!!! I brought it up on my computer and she fell in love with it.....I'm hoping she will be pleased when she sees it colored! Those two little guys are so adorable arent they ??? (-:
details: stamp from Mo is called "Isaiah", sentiment from GKD's "Inside andOut" (you can pop over to purchase either of them from my sidebar - and Gina is giving away a free stamp set for any $35 purchase!! wooo hoooooo!!!)
paper: all from stash box, base is black with brown mat, triangles are SU dp
ink: Mementp Black
Copics: B21, B32, B45, B93, B97, E00, E000, E02, E33, W1, W3, Y11, BG10, BG00

super, I like it
Hi Linda,
Wow, I love that image. It's so beautiful and has a real feel of "brothers" about it. You have made an excellent job of colouring it. Great papers and colours.
I think you should leave the tree up - start a fashion with an Easter Tree, after all Christmas was just a precursor to Easter.
Hugs,

Well, I guess you should take down your tree, but does anyone really care? This is a wonderful card for your friend's son. You have done such a beautiful job, Linda. You are so caring.
That card is wonderful.
I can feel the love in this card, Linda! It's beautiful!
Beautiful card- fantastic coloring!!! TFS
Awww that would be so hard for the entire family.. They will love this.. I am so glad you joined us at Mo's this week.. Super card.
I am going to have to color this image...Both my boys loved to read and this is perfect... You are soooo good at what you do, Linda.
Linda you are such a delight as are your cards!!! Your coloring is amazing!!
I love this. So sweet and what a lovely card for a mom of sons. I like how you set the image panel on the diagonal and the soft colors.
Linda, you are a special friend to make such a lovely card for her son!! He will love it for sure. Great Challenge card, thanks for playing the Mo's Challenge this week!!!
I feel sorry for that younger brother.. how sad that his best friend is heading overseas. We have to pray "God Speed"... I'm a military Mom.. so I know first hand it's hard for these families. Maybe you can get him involved in Operation Write Home?? Write me if you want more info.
Your card is darling.. Not sure how you knew Cathy would be heading up this month's challenges, but when you see her first you will absolutely KICK yourself!!!
Thanks for that VERY kind note at our SCS group.. I guess I'm not good at touting or struttin'
And thanks for playing along with us again at Mo's challenge...!!
Sending hugs, Peggy
