The Snowboarder

This is a card for my thirteen year old grandson, Jarrod - he snowboards and skis in the winter - which means he will be out there soon.  I colored the trees and the snowboarder with copics.  I put glitter on the mountain top and snowpen on the area where the snowboarder is standing.  I didn't like the effect of either one, so I covered them both with white Gesso.  (Actually when heating the white from the snowpen it turned brown in one spot - too much heat!).  The sky is colored with Distress Ink with a brush.  The DP is from Basic Grey.  Sometimes it's hard to find an image for a boy this age, so I was pleased when I came across this one from Guylou.

One old Hen

This is a gift / pillow box made for CDAC Progressive Challenge Series 7.  The upper picture is closer to the true color than the lower one.  The Hen was colored with copics, and gems were added to head, tail and body. The image of the hen is from Sugar Creek Hollow and the Birthday sentiment is from Sending Treasures.  The other sentiment was computer generated - have to have a little fun sometimes!  It is ll inches long, so will hold a gift.

The Perfect Bride

This is my sixth card for the CDAC Progressive Challenge series 6, which is over at midnight to-night.  This wonderful image is from Margaret Kieser, a member, this was one of the top images in the Drawing Challenge last month!!  The lattice on each side of the bride is part of an image from Nana Vic.  The bride is colored with Copics.  I used a Quickie Glue pen to add glitter to add glitter to the dress and veil.  The lattice is colored with white Pergamano pen.  The lace and roses are from Dollarama.  Blue cardstock from my stash.  I think she is a beautiful bride!
