This week over at Mo's Weekly Challenge , our challenge hostess for April, Peggy Marsh, challenged us to do a card in "pastels"..
This image of Mo's appealed to me because what I wouldn't give to have some time "off the roller coaster" and instead... just kicking back and spending a couple days at my own leisure.....big sigh.....don't usually feel that way - but last couple of months at work have really worn me out- pity party time !! LOL
ok, enough whining....here's my card....colored with copics...SU dp
another big sigh....she looks so comfy (-:
ok, I'm going to read a book....i really do love to read...
need some suggestions - love mystery and romance!!
have a blessed day,

Beautiful card...you should really take time to read a book and smell the roses too. you really deserve time for yourself. Hugs!
Awww this is so sweet! Remember when we were kids and we could lay around in the sun and read all day? Or was that a movie... anyhoo, LOVE your card!
Sending a big bear hug! Sounds like you need one. You have outdone yourself with this beautiful coloring!
beautiful card....I hope you can get some "you" time soon to just relax. I loved the scrapbook mystery series by Laura Childs- can't remember the names of them all but the last one was Tragic Magic.. fun easy reads.
Great card! The window seat looks so dimensional. Don't know if it is the stamp
or how you put it together but it is lovely.
Always such wonderful cards!

What a peaceful card! I always wanted a window seat to read in when I was a teen. I made due with a comfy chair in a nook by my bedroom window! Anyway, you go right ahead and gripe, have a little pity party, where else but with your blogging friends. It was such a "tiny little" thing. ;-) Hoping this week is better!
So pretty Linda. Love your coloring as always. I also love the red hair, so pretty. Make sure and take some time for yourself soon!
I consider that image quite a challenge to colur and you have done an amazing job. Stunning card! Like the way you kept rest of it very simple to avoid overdoing it - I find that sooo hard to do. It's always - I'll just add ONE more little thing and soon the whole card is brimming with embellies! lol
TFS
Hugs

Wonderful! I love to read, too! Thanks for joining us in Mo's Challenge this week.
Very nice Linda! Love the colors! And that image has always intimidated me, but you rocked it!
Great coloring of this image, Linda! Hope you've had an opportunity to relax.
Beautiful card Linda.. and it's so nice to see you use this darling image. Here's hoping to you have a terrific Spring with some special time for coloring and crafting. Hugs, Peggy x
Beautiful card and I hope you're relaxing and reading and taking some "me" time Linda! Do you read Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts, Carol Smith, Earlene Fowler, Ruth Rendell, Dick Francis? I love mystery books, my favourite author is Margery Allingham, wrote wonderful stuff that I go back to time and again
This is lovely, wonderful colors and fab coloring as usual :) Hope you found time to kick back and relax a little.
Your card is so pretty, Linda. I like the colors you chose.
I'm praying for you that you'll be restored in spirit and body. Sounds like you've had a rough go of it.
Beautifully colored & love all the details down to the butterfly button. i love to read too, but it's usually read or craft. Guess which one I choose ;) Big Hugs!!!
Beautiful coloring Linda! What a sweet card and love the colors you used. As far as reading...I am enjoying Jodi Picoult books and Mary Higgins Clark is a great mystery writer!
Linda, this is quite lovely, she looks so content with her book. Good luck and thanks for joining in on the fun at Mo's challenge blog.
Very well done my friend!! Beautiful coloring as always!!
