Beach Bum Bob

Afternoon -
I've had a crafty block this week  -  I just lost my mojo and didn't know what to do or put what where... So I went shopping!! And got a fab new summery cheery paper pad from Carta Bella called Beach Day and instantly knew I had to use this polaroid paper with Beach Bum Bob  from Dr Digi!

 

I didn't use much else on this card - the polaroid is from La De Dah which I got from Hobbycraft. I used some acetate within the frame to make the image look like a photograph and finally just cut some scrap black card in to triangles to give that old fashioned photograph look. 

Finally the Happy Birthday is a a sticker from Doodlebug. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers - 

Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.

Hair & beard - Warm grey 5,4, 2 & 1

Coconut - Lemon, Mustard & Sleigh Bells

Hat - Lemon, Mustard, Gold & Bright orange.

Straw & Belt - Powder Blue, Sky blue & Egyptian blue. 

Top - Lime zest, Lime Green & Pear Green

Shorts & Bag - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy

Background sky - Aquamarine. 

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

Eclectic Ellapu -Lifes a beach

Robyns Fetish - At the Beach 

Glitter N Sparkle - Summer Sunshine. 

Di's Digi Design - Hot bright colours.

Craft for the Craic - Summer breeze.

Creative Knockouts - Birthday wishes.

Hope you like him and maybe this post has provided you with a little inspiration... if only just to go shopping for this image!!

Beach Bum Bob

Sorry I'm late with this post - Its been up on the Dr Digi page since Sunday but I had a crazy morning... This is what I wrote  -

Morning All - Wow I would love to be relaxing somewhere with a cocktail right now... Really rubbish morning so far! I've been working late so was trying to get this post up for your this morning as soon as I woke but my laptop has decided to die on me! Ever tried to do a blog post via an ipad??

Anyway to cut a long story short.... I'm now rushing!! But hopefully you will be able to see the Fabulous Beach Bum Bob below.... I am so very ready for a holiday by the sea in some tropical paradise...

Our Bob still has his party shirt on despite the fact hes stranded... nothing will get him down!
Check him and his mates out over at the shop at Dr Digi

I used 3 different papers from Kaisercraft Say Aloha collection and cut around the flowers from one sheet to create the front, which I raised slightly with 3D foam. Even the greeting is from the paper pack. I love using packs which have everything all co-ordinating! The flamingo paper clip is from Tesco! 

I coloured Bob using Promarkers and Flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Shorts - Soft Khaki & Khaki.
Hair - Warm grey 2 & 4
Bag & Hat -  Saffron & Raw Sienna.
Shirt - Baby pink, Cerise & Magenta.
Coconut - Henna & Saddle Brown.
I edged around Bob with Powder blue to make him standout a bit.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Heart 2 Heart - Good day Sunshine.
Digi Choosday - For the Men.
Crafty Boots - Fair & Square. 

Have a great week people and fingers crossed the sun currently coming though my windows stays with us long enough to get our cocktails like Bob!
