A Get Well Wish and A New Look!

Notice the new look to my blog?! Too cool! Thanks to Amber for pointing me to Shabby Blogs. It’s so easy to do! (now I’m trying to figure how to get those cute dividers onto my page!)

A good friend of ours had a disagreement with a ladder last week…the ladder won! Poor Dave ended up with an ambulance ride, one of those halo thingys on his leg with pins in his ankle and another surgery this week to put plates on his shin. OUCH!

Being so busy with fair, today was the first chance I had to sit down and make the card I had in mind. The cute cowboy and sentiment are from Inky Antics. It’s colored with Copics, masked and then airbrushed.

The Technique Lovers Challenge on SCS today was Leafing Pen Resist. You take watercolor paper and a leafing pen (Krylon) and just have fun. I tried to make mine look like a barbed wire fence. Then you take Color Wash (or watercolors) and spritz over the paper. The leafing pen will resist the color! You can dab at the wet paper with a paper towel, spritz with water and/or just keep adding color until you have the desired look. (don’t mix too many though or you’ll just have a muddy look!)

I also used the Copper Krylon Leafing pen on the star brads.

Sending lots of prayers Dave’s way for a speedy recovery! 

Thanks for stopping!
