Yosemite Sam... SAM

Hi guys and gals

Just thought I would share this little project with you all.

On 26th October it's my daughter's boyfriends sixteenth birthday. He's a strange one to buy for so I'm just gonna give him some cash but equally I had a hard time trying to think of something to use as inspiration for his card.  He loves tattoo style text and images and his name is Sam so I thought it would be fun and a little bit different to make a Yosemite Sam card.

I drew the image freehand, copying an image I found on Google images and the text style is my own.  I then coloured the text so that it would look like it was on fire, as Yosemite is firing his pistols. Job done.

I hope you like the card and thanks for visiting today.

First Card of 2011

Wahooooo, welcome to 2011 everyone and thanks for stopping by and visiting me. I have just finished my FIRST card of the year. I have a good feeling about this year so let's hope it's a good one for all. I am still full of cold and so is Steve but I've had it for so long now that I am not prepared to let it get me down any longer. So 'ner' cold and flu symptoms, on your bike! Enough is enough.

Here's my card, which I made with my Woodland Friends stamps. First of all I decided which stamps I was going to use and then stamped up the background. I then coloured it with my ProMarkers and then coloured and decoupaged the fox and the badger over the top.

I then mounted it onto bubble, silver mirri card and then mounted some scrap green DP and mounted that onto the same bubble mirri card and then put them all together. The Card Candy was then coloured in with the same colours that I used on the tree and added to the top and the bottom of the card.

The thing I like most about using these stamp sets is that no two scenes look the same, you can just put what you want where you want and create all the different backgrounds and foregrounds you like. Hope YOU like it? It's for my friend Karen's hubby, Terry. He will be FIFTY on the 4th January 2011.

Congratulations Tezza. Hope you have a good one xxx

Lots of love, hugs and kisses
