Wow, I must be the world's worst blogger at the moment! I'm still feeling very 'limp' following the flu, although I'm finally getting better... it just seems to be taking a while to get back into things! I've coloured a few images this week, but this is the first one that's actually made it onto a card. It's for my mum to give to my youngest son Dex, who'll be 3 on Saturday - although how my baby can be 3 years old already I have no idea!
I've used one of the fab new images from Digistamp Boutique, available here. You can see all the new ones, including this month's gorgeous offer images here. I've coloured the image with promarkers, with a touch of koh-i-noor pencils for some shading and glow. The number 3 has been paper pieced and then covered in glossy accents... for some reason I forgot what bottle I'd got in my hand though, and shook it before I used it, so there are quite a few teeny bubbles in the gloss - I'm sure Dex won't mind though! The papers are K&Co, with cardstock from the Papermill. Stars cut with the sizzix primitive star die, button from stash and digi sentiment from here - I've just added the 'grandson' using photoshop.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Fab n Funky - anything goes
- Crazy 4 Challenges - celebrate something
- Creative Inspirations - use something new (the image)
- Paper Sundaes - something new (the image)

Lisa, snap and double snap. I've neglected my hobby and my poor old blog until today. The after effects of Christmas and the chest thingy i suppose. Love the fresh colours of your card and the big 3 looks really good with the 3d glaze. Hopefully we can keep the interest up, maybe if the sun came out for a while it would help,lol.
hey Lisa...I'm sure Dex will love this card...who wouldn't, it's gorgeous!! Great papers too. Thanks for joining us at Paper sundaes this week.
