Making a card, or art, is an expression of so many things—in this case, I was feeling this (among many other things) and the card just kinda happened. The world is in need of a lot of love right now . . .

I’ve been asked about what kind of paper to use with the Zig Clean Color Markers. I’ve tried this and that, but I seem to get the best results when I use Canson XL 140#. I cut most of the sheets down to 4.25 x 5.5” for card making. The above panel was initially cut to 3.75 x 5”, and later 3.5 x 4.34” to achieve better visual balance.

I hope you are all staying safe and healthy.
