Peg Leg Pete - Seas the day.

Afternoon - Time for my latest Dr Digi card and today I've used Peg Leg Pete . 

I've been thinking and planning Christmas cards this last week so this was a nice change to do something completely different. And these papers from Echo Park Pirate's Life were perfect for the image and to create all the banners which I cut but hand and mounted onto black card. I also used some silver Mirri card to die cut the anchor using a Lawn Fawn Die.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -

Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice with Cool Grey stubble!
Pants and Hats - Cool Greys - 1 to 5.
Jacket - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy
Wood - Satin, Cinnamon, Cocoa & Raw Sienna.
Bird - Lime Zest & Pear Green, True blue & Royal Blue, Canary, Gold & Bright orange.

I also used gold and silver pens to add some details.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -


Right - im off out into the garden whilst there is a break in the rain to get a few bits planted in and tied up!
See you soon,

Will you be Mine?

Morning - It's so nearly Valentines day so I thought I would make a manly card that wasn't too lovely or slushy and Deep Sea Doug from Dr Digi was the ideal image.

Hubby and I had date night last night and went for dinner and cocktails until we were so full we could barely walk home!! It wasn't because it was nearly Valentines day but our first weekend off together for a while so we had it booked in for ages... Romantic hey??!

So how do you think I have done? Even though there is pink - it isn't too girlie! This paper from a 12 x 12 Reflections pad called Today, Tomorrow and Forever matched perfectly the colours I used on the image (Incidentally I got this pad from TK Maxx and its is identical to a My Minds Eye 6X6 Pad... ?) I die cut the anchors using a Lawn fawn die from silver mirri and a gold textured card and couldn't decide which one to use so I used both!! I punched a hole in them and tied some twine around them to dangle which I attached on the inside.

I die cut around the image with  My favourite things wonky stitched rectangle die and mounted it on to black card. Finally I added a few co-ordinating sequins and some silver pen to add a little extra detail.

 I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - usual
Helmet & hair - Cool greys
Words - Pastel pink, Antique pink & Red Sweater.
Suit - Sea Mist, Pastel green, Aquamarine & Soft Green
Mine - Dove Grey, Stone wash, Blue Lake & Hearthstone.

That's all from me for now - Hope you all have a love filled Valentines Day - how ever and whom ever you spend it with,
