Today is a very special day today for my husband and myself as it is our 28th wedding anniversary. Our time together has had some good times but unfortunately the majority of our married life bar a few years I have been unwell so that has been an added strain for my husband. We have managed 28 years together and have two wonderful sons so that cannot be too bad can it?
Recently I won a challenge and got to pick some images from Dr Digi as my prize. As soon as I saw the image "Flossie's Day Out" I knew I wanted it for our anniversary card. I had a moped for a few years when I first started work and hated it and fell of numerous times. We go to Skegness quite often and regularly see motorbikes with sidecars and I've said to my husband that I'd love a ride in a sidecar - but I'd doubt I'd get in one with my health and where would my walking stick go? We can dream though!!!
Not sure what my husband will think of his card.
I have coloured the Dr Digi image called "Flossie's Day Out" with my Promarkers. I have decoupaged the lights from some dimension and added Glossy Accents to their glasses. I have edged the image with a tyre stamp I had in my stash from a magazine freebie and also used a little dotty stamp as well using a grey Prism ink pad.
The backing papers are from Summertime Designs who no longer seems to be around anymore as she made gorgeous papers.
I have finished the card off with stamped sentiments, die-cut the numbers "2" and "8" 4 times and stuck them together to make them more pronounced on the card and added some red/white/blue ribbon to match the colour scheme of the card.
The Promarkers that I have used are:
Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal
Hair/beard - Ice Grey 1 and Ice Grey 2
Sidecar/motorbike - Red, Berry Red, Crimson, Ice Grey 1, Ice Grey 2, Ice Grey 3, Black, Lemon, Yellow and Purple
Flossie/her biker friend/helmets - Amethyst, Purple, Mulberry, Arctic Blue, Sky Blue, Leaf Green, Bright Green, Ice Grey 2 and Ice Grey 3.
Now just for a laugh here are a few photos of us 28 years ago:
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Friends - Two or more patterned papers
Creative Fingers - Anything goes
