Where is the Wood?

WOW, I can't beleive that it is already  5 pm on Sunday, in a few hours it will be time to go back to work to earn some money to replace that which I spent this weekend. How many of you were in a Michaels this weekend. I have been in there several times, because I had 50% coupons and they will only let you use one at a time/or one a day. Well I walked in there on Friday at lunch time and fell in love. They had some of the new Prima flowers... roses, daisies,  spring mix, summer mix. and the paper, My Minds Eye... HOME. OMG... every thing was just gorgeous. the flowers coordinated with the paper. Can you keep a secret. Don't tell my friends. They keep telling me that I have a problem. I tell them that I can quit whenever I want. This is a sure sign that I have a problem. But really, is it a problem if you acknowledge it. I bought both sets of roses, I bought the spring mix, and the summer mix and don't forget the daisies. I bought the 6x6 paper and the 4.5x6.5 matting paper. I have already made 2 cards from it. I plan to get the 12x12 also. I have never in my life fell in love with paper. Some of it has glitter, and it all works together.

My first card is for Mo's Digital 2 challenge, The challenge was to use wood or would. I colored my images mat to look like wood. I think my images name is Monique, she is an angel and she blowing her horn. I had never used her before and I thought she would work for my birthday just as well as for Christmas. So she looks like she is making the announcement that it is my birthday next Monday.

I colored the image and the mat with my Copics:
My angel:
skin: E31, E33, E21
hair: E09, E25, E21
Robe: E40, E41
Wings: crystal stickels
Background: E27, E21
Horn: Y17, Y28

The flowers are from the new Prima line, the roses and the bloom. The paper is from the new Minds eye HOME. I do love these. The bling is from my stash. and this card came out better than I thought it would. I am not as happy with my photo. It has been dreary and cold here for days and there has been very little sunshine. The lighting in my apartment is awful and I have to move my lttle ott light from room to room trying to get the best place. This is a pain.

I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the pendant from the Fleur de lis. (I had a problem using this one, it did not cut well setting it up the way they directed me to) the paper was not that thick. but sections of the larger die did not go through.
