A Sassy Pirate

I pulled out my Prismacolors and Mona Lisa OMS for a change. Wow, I thought I needed to practice my Copic colouring, but I *really* need to practice with my Prismacolors! My 7-year old could give me a run for my money with her Walmart pencil crayons...

I was just having a bit of fun with some of my Nestabilities and coloured Kraftin' Kimmie's "Cutthroat Lizzie" to match. Some of the Nesties are then popped up with dimensional foam stickers. The embossed layer is a Stampin' Up embossing folder - "Square Lattice" and is quickly becoming a favourite for me, and that little belt buckle is from a really old Quickutz die.

I tried a faint gray cloudy day for the background, but apparently, it's soooooo gray that it doesn't even show up :)


Don't look at the colouring too closely (yes, she has a bit of lipstick "bleed", LOL!).

Hope you all had a great weekend. We "bunked in" at my sister's garage sale and managed to get rid of a little "junk" from the garage and make a bit of cash in the process. At this rate, I am determined to have a parking spot in the garage come winter!

Finally getting around to posting some of my older cards

This was my hubby's Valentine's card this year. We are definately not the soppy sort, LOL! (well, he did propose at the tomb of St. Valentine, but I said no...and that's a story for another time!)

I used a stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie, a lovely Canadian company (and perfect for me since I'm *not* known for my patience when waiting for an order to arrive). Artist Annie Rodrigue's images never fail to make me smile. I love this card and all it's swirly nestie goodness - don't you think the die cuts go perfectly with Drucilla's hairdo?
