Introducing Oscar

Its times like this when I wish my Dad was here to see this, he would have been well amused with this card, he’d of loved the character and the wording is something that would have come out of his lips.

Introducing Oscar is a Mo Manning image and can be purchased from Mo’s Digital Pencil

Coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and teamed with Limited Edition papers.

The wording was from an old K & Co scrapbook pad.

I think this would make the perfect man card some wording like “am I really that old?”

Summer Tootsies

I thought it would be fun to show you my summer tootsies, it is years since I painted my toe nails but that is only because my hubby does them for me, pampered I am ha,ha.
As you know I have a bad back and if I paint my own I walk like the man in the nursery rhymn "there was a crooked man, who had a crooked house".

So I am sporting deep purple toe nails for this season.

Elegance - Victoria Case Image

Some images just scream elegance and this is one of them, it is by Victoria Case and it is one that she gave to her facebook friends, I truly wish that Victoria would reopen her digi shop because her art is stunning. Although you can still buy a few of her dig’s from here

I used a craft knife on the wings of this beauty and lifted them up off the page I placed a second image underneath where the wings are all coloured up so that you couldn’t see the gaps.

I used my airbrush for the background and covered over the image with a mask

Soft shades for colours for this Angel as I wanted is to be dreamy, I used the Spellbinders edgeabilities and the Memory Box flower wreath and made a wire net flower and butterfly.

Call the Nurse

Before I start I wanted to thank you all for the wonderful Birthday Wishes both here and via email, isn’t the big WWW a wonderful tool, I have made so many online friends and appreciate each and every one of you.

I got my lie in this morning (Happy Dance) and had visits throughout the day from my family. loads of cards, chocolates and goodies. I got a beautiful writing set from my Mam as an extra as I already had had my Birthday present.

So on to my card this is another one that I’ve had coloured up for a long time awaiting to be added to a card.

Nurse by Mo Manning from Mo’s Digital Pencil, coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset

I wanted a little extra in the embellishment form but just couldn’t find any so i made my own Bandages and Elastoplast's and of course i added some gorgeous pearls from Mei Flower 

nurse3

I still needed something to finish the card and that's where the luscious ribbon from Ribbon Carousel came in to play
