The tortoise and the golf cart.......

September is certainly a busy birthday month around here and I made this card for my boss. He is a keen golfer and you may have thought I would make him a golfing card but I did that last year so I decided as you can buy cards with golf on but cards with tortoises on are harder to find I would make one for his other passion.

As soon as I saw this tortoise at Create with TLC I had to get it, normally digi stamp tortoises are more caricatures so this one seemed more real iykwim lol. Coloured with my copics and an airbrushed background and of course the glossy accents too. I wasn't sure what to do with the background but eventually decided on these Echo Park papers, some from the snippet folder and some I printed and used my flagstack die-namics to cut them out. The cardstock is called chocolate brownie and is a textured card from elzybells, wish I had bought more of this now and have had it a while and this is the first sheet I have used, must say though even the smallest pieces went in the snippet folder.

Hello everyone and waves to my new followers, I know this posting regularly is becoming addictive lol. I made a card using an image form a new artist to me anyway. I spent ages looking around his site and there are several images I will be going back for too, so I bet you are wondering who the artist is well it is Robert Jackson.

I used Lil DJ for this card and Shabby Princess "cozy sweater" paper, I couldn't believe it when I even had brads to match....knew the brad mountain would come in handy lol. The image didn't come with the music notes I added them myself and glossy accented them too.
