BIG D

Morning girls
Well we've the wet stuff again today. I knew it was too good to last.  Mr Sunshine doesn't keep his hat on very long here in Scotland:(
Anyway, I don't often show any commissioned cards on me blog but I thought I'd show you  this one.  The brief was 'It's for a male named Big D' who dresses like a cowboy and will be 70.  The mind boggles!!!  Do you get asked for silly things too?  Or is it just my luck?
Straight away I thought of this image from Karen's Doodles, then I remembered that Tracy did a little cowboy set when she's Creative Cottage, perfect!  I was sorted easier than I thought I'd be:)

I wanted a distressed feel to it so inked the edges of all the papers and backers.  Once I'd that all sorted I cut the the letter with my cricut, added the tiled letter on top and I'd the basis of my card.  Once I'd coloured the image with my copcis I pop dotted him on, added the sentment, bashed a couple of metal snaps up a bit and the job was done.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out.  I just hope Big D whoever he is likes it too:)

Morning girls

wooooooooohoooooooooooooo we've had Mr sunshine out all weekend here in Glasgow. 

 It's been a long time coming too but it's been great to get out in the garden and enjoy it.  Long may it last:)

 It's time for a new challenge on Karen's Doodles and this week it's.........

USE MORE THAN ONE IMAGE

I've used two of Karen's older images this week.  Ice Cream and Maggie and Me Then

What's nicer than two little girls playing in the sunshine eh?  

I've coloured as usual with copics, papers are from Pink Paislee, sentiment is Sparkle n Sprinkle and all the other bits and bobs are from me stash.

So, that's my effort for this week, do pop by the challenge blog for some more gorgeous cards from the other girls on the DT and don't forget we have a DT CALL running at the moment too.

Bugaboo Stamps

and the lucky winner will have the choice of 7 digital stamps.  Generous or what????

Here's my creation.  I've gone for 1 down, brads, buttons and die cuts.

How cute is this little fella?  I needed a 1st birthday card, well a few of them actually for Saturday and thought he was perfect.  Once I'd him coloured with copics I couldn't resist adding those googley eyes inside his sun specs.  I've made sure they're well secured though and I'll also tell Mum not to let him play just to be sure.

Papers are from Echo Park, Sidewalk Chalk range.  I've been buying quite a bit of these recently especially when they sell for $1 on a Wednesday.  Who doesn't love a bargain?

Anyway, that's my effort for this one. Do pop over to the challenge blog and see the other DT girlies creations.  I promise you won't be disappointed.
