As I was checking Mo's Digital Challenge today, this idea *popped* into my head. The challenge is to use "wood" or "would"... make a card or 3-D project and incorporate 'wood' or 'would', or perhaps use 'faux wood' in your project.
We have a friend whose birthday is Saturday.
Tom is rather on the TALL side!
As he puts it...he's 5' 19"... that's 6' 7"! Yeah, tall!
I wanted my card to be a long/tall card, so I stretched out this digital along the side of my 8.5x11 blank file in PSE7. Then I printed it on a piece of copy paper just to make sure...yup! it was the right size=).
Now time for the wording, back to my working file in PSE, I used Papyrus font and did the sentiment. Printed to cardstock (Georgia Pacific white) and we're ready to color!
It's all colored with Copics and since I had the copy paper printout already, it was easy to cut my masks!
Anyway...who WOULD have thought
oh~so~many years ago
that little Tom WOULD grow so TALL!
Hope you're having a great day!
Thanks for stopping!

Hi there Chick-a-Dee-Dawn!
This card is so awesome! I love every bit of it, and I am sure your friend,Tom, will love it even more...because you made it for him! How special!
Does "Mo" make non-digital stamps? I love the look of this person. I am about to look at your tutorial. I'm so glad you use airbrushing, because with the list of things I want to learn, I'm sure I will never get to it, and it looks so real!
