Sailing

Evening peeps

My son is just going into the last ever rehearsal week for his end of year show.  It is the last time I will see him on stage as when he starts uni, all of his work will be back stage.  I dread this week, he works from 8am until 11pm everyday until the show and when he gets tired, he screams and shouts at me.


Tonight's card is clean and simple with a sailing theme in the colours of red, white and blue.  The digital stamp is from Digi Darla who unfortunately, no longer trades.  I have coloured it using ProMarkers and paper pieced the sails.

Butterfly Girl

Good afternoon

I needed to go clothes shopping today for myself, which I haven't done in months.  This is not an easy job for me, firstly, I only had time to go to my local high street where the choice is very limited.  Secondly, I have very particular tastes when it comes to my clothes, I like to have a vintage feel to them and with the current fashion tends, there isn't much around.  Thirdly, when I go out to purchase clothes for myself I always land up buying clothes for my son instead.


So, what a pleasant surprise to come back with two pairs of trousers and two tops.  Now I want to go out in one outfit, come back and change just to go out in the second.  It's been so long since I have had anything new.


Anyway, I started to make this card late last night and finished it this morning.  The digital image is from The Fantasy Art Of Ching-Chou Kuik and I have coloured her using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Grey Centura Pearl card stock

Spoon

Evening all

What a manic day yesterday.  It was my niece's prom and because her Mother has no idea, I organised for a friend of mine, who is a qualified hairdresser, to do her hair and make up.  She looked amazing once it was finished.  Unfortunately, the first words out of her mother's mouth when she turn up, were I don't like it.  I was so embarrassed and the look on my niece's face was awful.


Anyway, my son asked for a card to be made for his friends birthday today.  Because of the lads nickname, which is spoon, he wanted an image of a spoon on the card.  I hunted high and low for a digital stamp but in the end, had to have a go at drawing one myself.  It's not brilliant but my son seemed to like it.


Materials used are:

ProMarkers to colour the image
White card stock
Red card stock
Two different patterned digital papers
Red Twine
Blue buttons
