My first card for today was an experiment. Some time ago I purchased an aircompressor so that I could try airbrushing using Copic markers. This is actually my second attempt at airbrushing. I did one Christmas card and was a little disappointed with the way it turned out. So, not to be discouraged, I tried again -- of course, it took me three months to do it! I'm happier with the results of this attempt.
When I saw this second image, I thought of the coast of Maine. Having never been there, however, I don't know if it really does look like the coast of Maine!
