Good morning and what an early morning it is. It is 3:55 am. Boy do I hate waking up this early. But, I woke up coughing and wheezing with a dry mouth and nose. I need to fight this feeling before it gets any worse. And guess what. I was unable to go back to sleep. So, I figured that since I had some new projects that had not been posted I would start now.
This card is a birthday card made for a member of one of my Yahoo groups. This is the first time that I have actually signed up to be involved in any of the activitities just because I have very little extra time during the week. But, I figured that the Birthday Club would be easy, because I am always making birthday cards anyway. And my stash is getting to large. I don't want to hold on to my cards, I want to share them with others.
This is is a little larger than usual. It is 6"x9", the reason is that the background stamp is a little larger and it needed a little more room to work. The scene is by the Pixie Cottage. And I used Edwin from Magnolia. He is part of the first goodie bag that I received from my friend. But I know that you can get Edwin in many forms from the Magnolia-Licious Online Store. This is the first man's card that I have made since I started making cards. I think that it came out really good. Although it took me 2 weeks to make it work. I received an email from Bob yesterday to say that he really liked it. So that is why I am posting it today. I did not want to show it until he had received it.
The images were colored with my Copics (I have got to start practicing with my Prismacolor pencils, I have invested a lot of money in them and have only used them a couple of times.) Anyway, I colored with Copics:
Skin: E21, E00, E40
hair: Y11, E31
Clothes: B24, B32, B34
Flowers/trees: Y15, RV19, G21, G28, G07
outline: G1
Water: BG10, BG72
The papers are from Hobby Lobby, The Paper Studio. The butterflies are from my scrapbooking stash. I love butterflies and I have already replaced the ones used here. The inside sentiment on the left was cut with my Cricut. The typed sentiment was from me to Bob, from my head. I really do need to get a sentiment verse book. I really love how this card turned out. I hope you like it too.
