Festival weekend.

Afternoon All -
I had a technical clitch this morning with my camera - hence the reason for an afternoon post rather then this morning.

So this weekend has been our local Festival on the field at the end of our road (A little too handy to pop in for unhealthy lunch of Crepes and Doughnuts!!) Its also been lovely and warm so the Power of Deirdrey last weekend def helped!
With the festival in mind I've made a birthday card using Strongo the Magnificent. We didn't quite have circus side shows but we did have A Dog Show, Morris Dancers and a Scarecrow Competition!! We went to the live band last night and along with  a fair bit of wine and dancing - We all had a brilliant night.

All the papers are from Carta Bella Circus Party collection and the greeting from Pebbles. I used a My Favourite things die cut to create the frame and added a few matte sprinkles from Doodlebug, along with some gold pen for details like buttons.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Usual
Suit - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy with Aquamarine shading.
Belt, Boots and hair - Warm greys.

Hope it was worth the wait!!

Happy Birthday El Gordo.

Morning - Todays post for Dr Digi DT is using El Gordo
I made this card for a friend we met whilst on holiday years ago in Mexcio and yesterday we went to his surprise 40th Birthday party. Where else can you find that perfect image !! He also loves his cars so the retro black and white car paper was a great combo.

The coloured papers are from Carta Bella Circus Party collection -the yellow paper is called Banners and Turquoise paper called Tickets. The car paper is from Crate Paper I think (I have cut the bottom of??) I used the Die-namics party banner die cut and star nestibilities to cut the red Bazzill card and used Doodlebug white letters to add the numbers and letters. The Happy Birthday is from Pebbles and I cut the end off to make it fit a little better. 

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft peach, Blush & Antique White

Boots & gloves - Pastel Green, Oasis & Island Lagoon.

Cape & knee pads - Cool Grey 1, 3, 4 & 5.

Tights & hood - Primrose, Lemon, Summer Sun & Gold.

Cape - Red, Poppy & Ruby.
