Saying goodbye

Hello and welcome to everyone who has taken the time to stop by, please leave a comment so I know you have visited, it means alot.
My card today is one made for a very dear friend who has decided to leave our little happy band of workers and move to pastures new.
I decided to use the image Pearls in my Hair from http://www.adayfordaisies.com/stamps/ do pop over and have a look sometime, they have lovely images.  Anyway I thought this image would be suitable because she is walking away and because the birds are with her it just seemed right to colour them blue, for bluebirds of happiness.  I did make a mistake after colouring the image with my new promarkers (really beginning to love these now) I decorated the image with the pearls (getting carried away without thinking first as usual) it was only after it had dried that I realised I had not cut the image out (silly me) so then had to draw round the spellbinders frame I wanted to use, before mounting it on another one in a contrasting colour.  I'm not completely happy with it, I'm disappointed with myself for not noticing earlier, I like to do things right all the time that's the trouble. I used the embossing folder by Couture Creations called Walrus & Carpenter, on the pink floral paper. On the blue dotty paper I used Spellbinders Edgeabilities I also used the same edgeabilities die down the spine of the card. Here's a closeup of the image.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking and any comments you leave.
Till next time, Linda xxx

  4. Hi Linda snap I have just bought this image and th others in th theme after seeing Coops cards. your card is Gorgeous and you are really doing well with your Promarkers. I bought the SERIF CRAFT ARTIST PLATINUM PROGRAM from IDEAL WORLD.TV the shopping channel you can find it on the web at www.idealworld.tv
    I got it as a package with the program and five other digi.kits which contain lots of images backgrounds ,colours and effects. the program is very easy to use , you use the page like a piece of blank card adding images and icons , backgrounds etc then adding shadow to give depth and 3D effects , it's nice to play with it for a while , get the hang of it then you are off. You can import into the program your own photo,s which are in your Pc or digital images
