When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

Some Odd Girl Anniversary card

Hello Monday morning, well what's left of it!

I confess I'm not so good today so I stayed in bed and slept for a couple of extra hours, hopefully that extra sleep will allow me to finish off my latest Bristol Rovers article after lunch.

Today I want to share with you an Anniversary card I've made for my friend and her husband.  I used Some Odd Girls digital stamps 1920's Gwen & Kody -


For once, because I usually forget to do so, I chose my paper first & I used this gorgeous door design from BoBunny's Timepiece collection 6 x 6 paper pad. I simply matted & layered it with some white and navy card.  The card base is an elegant edged 8 x 8 card blank by Craftwork cards.  The sentiment is from my stash I've had for years!


This fab couple are actually separate digital stamps so I took them into my Serif Craft Artist Pro 2 and positioned them together, slightly overlapping Gwen to make them look more of a couple who perhaps are out for a stroll or maybe they're going in through that door! 

I coloured them with Copics and enjoyed colouring this style of clothes - what fun!

Hope you like it, let me know what you think!
Take care Zo xx

Hi Zoe, sorry to read you have been poorly - hope you're feeling a bit better today. Asthma's troubling me today so I'm keeping out of the cold and upping the steroids as prescribed ... hopefully, it will blow over in a day or two. In the meantime, when I feel up to it, I'm deep into sorting and organising in the craft space ... too much stuff getting out of control, and I do like to be in control :)

Your card is terrific - that's a neat bit of manipulation you've done in Serif, you would never know that they began as two separate digis I see Gwen has ankles just like mine :))

Hope you got the article completed in time too. Take care and rest up as much as possible. Elizabeth xx

Sorry to read you've been unwell honey, can't wait for Spring here, although the sun is actually shining this afternoon for a change. YAY!!

Big hugs to you, my little friend, Di xx
