Ah, an inspirational card! I feel I've gotten away from them a bit lately...mostly been doing BL cards. XDD Or random depressing ones. >>' I guess my mental health is a bit better today...cause something good sorta happened on the internship front. So I'll post about it later. :)

I used this scan. [she reminds me of Misuzu from Air~] I've had it for a while...I attempted to make a card with it months ago, but I didn't like how it was going. >< Her mouth bothered me cause it was pixelated...and just didn't make the image look good! So I actually zoomed in and repainted it. XDD Just a bit. Um, I actually did a lot with this...lots of layers of different brushes to create my own little texture and such. Changed the colors with gradients...you know, stuff like that. The text gave me so many problems, as usual. *rolls eyes* I couldn't decide on how I wanted it so I did make 2 versions. The one you see here, with the light text bubble and dark text, and here is #2: dark bg with white text. If more people tend to like ver.2 more, then I'll edit this out. :)

Enjoy~

Oh, and the words were inspired by these lyrics. <3 I unfortunately couldn't find the song on youtube. :( Pandora played it for me; it's really pretty~

edit: I made the bubble/cloud smaller...so in version 2, it's still bigger. XD Sorry~
