Well, I've made my card in plenty of time for this week's Whiff of Joy Challenge. Didn't want to be late again! I've had a busy few days at work, mind you we're always busy so not much change there then. Then my son phoned to ask if I would try to get tickets for Take That for his fiancee. Needless to say when I got Sarah's tickets I ended up getting tickets for everyone - I can't wait!!!
Anyway, this is Oakley sitting on his treestump. I've tried this wee chap a few times before with distress inks and I didn't think they worked although I really love colouring with them. So, this time I used the Pro Markers which I'm still experimenting with and I think they work a lot better on this image. I'm not great at boys cards but I like them to have a bit of glitz because their papers are often quite dark so I dabbed some stickles on the stars to liven it up a bit.
This is one side of the inside but no matter how many times we tried it just wasn't possible to get a decent picture of the other side so I haven't bothered to show it. It was stripes with some stars and spots. with a space for a greeting. Quite nice really but not photogenic!
This is the card recipe:Whiff of Joy Willow with Oakley and Whiff of Joy Sentiment
Papermania Papers
Cardstock from stash
Gold Stickles
Threading Water punch from Fiskars
Pro Markers:
Saffron; Coral; Pastel Yellow; Cornflower; Blue Pearl; Spice; Cinnamon; Cool Aqua; Lime Green;
Peach watercolour pencil for skin.
It's been raining here in Edinburgh today but it's supposed to cheer up tomorrow. I'll be watching my beloved Celtic so whatever you're doing I hope you have a great Saturday. I'll be doing my usual rounds looking for all your lovely cards.
