A little bit manly...

 

Good morning Sunday bloggers...where has the sun gone??  It was roasty toasty yesterday but looks like we are back to the normal dull weather today.

So my mum asked me to make her a card for a friend who is going to be 70, she wanted something with a cowboy theme as he was cowboy daft when he was younger.  I told her the only image I had was a half naked man wearing a cowboy hat....and she said that would be perfect....lol!!

So I have used papers from Carta Bella Giddy Up Boy, the image is from Victoria Case which I coloured with copics.  I added some twine and attached a cowboy hat charm and punch out a star and added the numbers to it...oh and some doodles!!

Good evening folks....and a wee quickie tonight.  the photo is a bit rubbish but it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home which is a bit naff but never mind!!

The image is Latte from Saturated Canary which I coloured with copics, the papers and little embellishments are from Fancy Pants - Hot chocolate collection, i punched the snowflakes and glittered them up, I then added pearls to the centres.  The tag is from LOTV and the charm is from The Hobby House.

Underwater Adventures...

Good morning folks....hopefully this is me getting back to normal. The school shopping is complete, the extra hours at is complete and Holly is much better now and on the mend and looking forward to going back to school.

I have been so desperate to make a start on the latest Sugar Nellie stamps so last night I finally managed a bit of time to colour and make this card. The papers have been in my stash forever but I though they were a perfect match, they are from Imaginsce - Splash collection. Te stamp is of course from Sugar Nellie - Aqua Marina which I coloured with copics. I added some blue lace and twine and attached a little turtle charm which was lying in my stash too. The sentiment is from CC Design - Beach Logos...there's a few in the set that matches the mermaids perfectly....added some pearls and lots of glitter to finish.
