Cool Carl

 To see the full size versions of these nifty new images you will need to head over to Scribbles Designs Challenges and there is even more incentive to do so but you'll have to keep reading to find out why!

I got to play with this handsome fella...

Frank Flamingo

Each of us Scribblers was secretly assigned an image and a colour to work with. You now know the image I was given, but can you guess the colour? I'll give you three chances...

 Here is a closer look at this studly Flamingo...

Here is a close up of the inside of my card...

Here are the card details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

General Notes: 

• So, what were your guesses? Blue? Pink? Red?  If you chose red then you are right and you've won a brand new....nope sorry there is no brand new anything to win but I had you going didn't I?
• Hmmm...I knew it was too good to last.  The Ott light broke (I haven't told you this yet have I?).  At first we thought it was just the bulb but apparently not.  So now I've resorted to anchoring a treble light to the Ott light in order to get half decent lighting.  Unfortunately, that is all it is--half decent.  So it is back to the drawing board until I can afford to pick up something new.  Vicky had suggested Wal-Mart so I think that will be my first place to look once I've saved up for it.

Digital Image:

• Frank Flamingo:  Isn't he just the most manly flamingo you have ever seen?  He draws you in with those steely eyes and you become puddy in his wings.  Frank is so cool he actually walks on water--just one more reason the ladies flock to his side.  It was coloured using Copic markers.  Frank:  N0 (base before adding pinks), RV00, RV02, RV04 (feathers); C3, C5, C7 (beak).  Grounding:  B00 (around Frank); B00, B02, B05 (water).

Digital Sentiment:

• Real Men Wear Pink:  Tee hee.  When I received Frank it took me a day or two to figure out what I was going to do with him.  He had me mesmerized for at least the first 24 hours but as the spell started to fade and I could think a little bit clearer, it just came to me.  My husband looks AWESOME in the colour pink.  Most people complement him every time he has his pink dress shirt on.  However, there is one man at work that continually teases him.  Obviously, he is a man that is insecure in his own skin.  When I finally give the card to Raymond, who hopefully will not have seen this post ahead of time (if not --surprise honey!), I hope he will take this card to work and politely shove it in the other guy's face proudly display it on his desk.

Paper Products:

• Card base: Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, white.
• Designer Papers:  Dotted paper (front & inside)--Recollection's Bright & Basic Paper Pad. Pink and white hatched paper (front)--Recollection's Bright & Basic Paper Pad.   Shimmery red (shadow front & inside) --Michael's open stock scrapbook paper. 

Ribbon:

• Craft Smart Ribbon.

Embellishments:

Thank you so much for stopping by.  As I've now added to my comment section, whether you are a regular, here for the first time or popping over in your official capacity as a DT member, please know how much I appreciate the words that you leave behind.  Your encouragement helps me to become a better designer.   I try my best to reply to your comments (when an email address is available) but that is getting more and more difficult as my plate fills up with new responsibilities, new roles, and new obligations.  If I don't get the opportunity to thank you personally, know that I don't take a single comment for granted. Thank you for your understanding.

Until next time,

  

Note: I apologize if there are any formatting issues.  This is a scheduled post and we all know Blogger has a mind of it's own.  If it turns out that something looks wonky, i.e.--part of the sentence a different size than the rest, I'll fix it as soon as I'm able to.
