Morning my lovelies,
I hope
you all had a lovely weekend and managed to have some crafty time.
Today is a sad day
for me as my youngest son (22) Lieutenant George Knott left for Afghanistan in
the early of hours of this morning on his first tour of duty, I am so proud of
what he has achieved and can’t wait until I see him either in August or
September when he is due to return for his two weeks of R & R, at least I
am back at work today so hopefully that will take my mind of it.
Anyway enough blubbing from
me, today I am sharing a card which I made over the weekend. I decided to look
out some of my old Magnolia stamps which I haven’t inked up for a while; in
fact it must be at least 10 months since I used Waterlily Tilda and as I so
like to do I have masked her with the Sea Background stamp. I have coloured
using Copics and Prisma pencils.
Copics
I have used:
Skin:
E31, E21, E00, E000, R20
Hair:
E37, E35, E33, E31
Dress
& Headband: C5, C3, C1, C0
Water:
B97, B95, B93, B91
Grass
& Trees: YG99, YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Dies:
Spellbinders, Whiff of Joy, Crealies
All
other embellishments are from my crafty stash
Take
care everyone and thank you for stopping by.
Hugs

ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud of your son Gina. I know I am proud of all our young men who join the Army. My 10 yr old grandson aims to do just that. May God watch over George and keep him safe.
