Retirement Card: Green Fingers and Thumbs

Another instalment of the Retirement card, this page uses Green Fingers and Thumbs, also from Dr Digi.  Coloured with Promarkers plus all elements are from my stash.  I'd rather like a pair of pink wellies!  Last page next week!

Mum 70 - Part 4

Here is the next page for my Mum's Birthday card and I've used Green Fingers and Thumb from Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers and glossy accents on the specs.

I cut the number 70 from card and then covered with some really ancient papers from my stash - Papermania - Retro Floral 12x12 papers which I've pieced together so I can use as much as I can.  Edges dotted with liquid pearls.  The smaller letter V is also covered with papers from the same collection.  I've handwritten the vellum tag and created a bow with some paper ribbon.

Making Cards - Part 2

This is the second card from the trio that has been recently published in Making Cards magazine.  It is actually a stepper card - you just can't tell from the angle I've taken the photo at!  I've used Green Fingers and Thumbs and Barrow and Bits all from Dr Digi.  I've also used one of the Mother's Day Sentiments too.

Coloured with Promarkers plus a grass die cut and the cloud papers are from my stash.

Here is a little something to help you remember warmer days and being outside without 7 thermal layers and waders. You can buy Green Fingers and Thumb from the Dr Digi store plus you can get a bundle deal if you want!

That marrow is a whopper but to be honest, I'd rather be sitting in the summer house sipping something cold and alcoholic!

I've coloured the image with Promarkers, used a sentiment from a Funky Hand download and a page (with carefully placed elements) from a paint catalogue.

A Page From A Scrapbook

Deirdery found her old scrapbook when she was having a clear out last week and she wanted to share this page. The photo has survived remarkably well along with the prize rosette.

Who would have thought she would have Green Fingers and Thumb!  Deirdery had a right chuckle when she remembered that she had originally anticipated entering the sunflower competition but had to make a change when the seed turned into a whopper of a marrow......!
