Hole in one Hal

Firstly ... I know ... I should have done a football card (Well Done England!!) but honestly its been a bit crazy busy here with house reno's and work etc so I am showing you the last card I did for the magazine a while back. I've kept it in reserve for this very reason... This is Hole in one Hal and he is such a fun image to colour.
So I have a question for your crafty folk... do you make your cards from start to finish in one go or in stages... I have loads of images coloured as thats the bit I love doing but then I need inspiration for how to make then in to a card. I should do the whole thing as I go along right? So be interested to know what your creative process is... if you have one!

Hole in one Hal was coloured using copics and papers are from My Minds Eye and Doodlebug. The greeting is from Make it Crafty and an embossing folder was used to make the golf ball effect pattern in the background.

I hope you like him and take a look at all the wonderful images at Dr Digi.

Hole in one Hal - Father's Day

This is Hole in one Hal from Dr Digi. This is my latest DT post over at the Dr Digi blog. I've made this for Father's Day for the future Father in law.

I used 3 different papers from My Minds Eye Lime Twist range called Out of the Blue. Its one of my favourites for Men's cards and I am nearly running out - but I'm not sure its around anymore.
I fussy cut around the digi image and die cut two scalloped circles one in Salt Bazzill Swiss dot and one in black which I used to mount everything. I used a Friskars edge punch on the Orange paper and also on the black but staggered it so that it created an mounted edge.
I die cut the Happy and Day from the same black bazzill card stock and used Amy Tangerine - American crafts Thickers to spell out Fathers.
I used 3d foam to attach Hal to the die cut and also to attach 3 white card candi from Craftworks Cards that reminded me of Golf balls! I also added a little glaze to his sun visor.

To make this card I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. 
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice.
Hair, golf bag & Shoes - Ice Greys 1 - 5
Top - Soft Peach, Mango, Peach & Orange.
Shorts - Capri Blue, Midnight blue & Navy Blue.
Clubs - Ice Grey 2, 4 & 5

Socks & Bag strap -  Lime Zest, Lime Green & Pear Green.
I also outlined the whole image with Frozen Lake.
