This Magnolia image of the Jungle buggy and scene is for a good friend of DH's who is packing his family up , sold their home , quit their jobs and are...with 2 of there kids in tow ..... heading back to their home province after spending 12 years here . They have no jobs to head too and have changed their mind on where they are going to actually live ! Not sure it is something we could ever do without having some plan of attack but we wish them the very best in their journey !
The images I chose are all Magnolias from a few years back and I actually have used both images a few times . Some of my colors don't show up very well nor does the Stickles on the tops of the mountains ( and yes , I KNOW Alberta doesn't have palm trees ! LOL ! ) nor does the glossy accents on the windows . I mounted the jungle buggy on foamies so it actually stands up from the image . All images are colored in an array of Copic colors . I kept the card pretty simple with the sentiment from Verve stamped inside that reads "As you unpack your things and settle right in , May happiness follow and good times begin "
Card #2 is stamped with a Saturated Canary image ( digi ) and I have to say ..... OMG !!!!!! I am in love as I love these images by this company ! They are just so much fun to color and watch come to life !
This card is for my DIL and not posted on FB as she hasn't got it yet ! LOL ! It was her birthday yesterday and I am not sure when we will actually see her ......... guess they will actually have to come down and get it ! ( actually DH will probably take it there this week as he has to go up for business ! Yes , he is doing some contract work from home for a bit ........ ) . The majority of this card is colored with Copics and little highlights of Gel pen . I have used all my stash for this card from the cardstock to the ric-rac ! It is amazing when I look through my stuff how much I have and forgot about ! LOL ! Happy Belated birthday Carlene !
Card #3 is an Easter card ( yes I know it has past already ! )
I made this card for my parents and I am surprised they actually got it in time as I was really pushing to get this one done ! Another Magnolia image that I colored with Copics .
Spring has made an appearance here , the robins are trying to clean my yard of all the worms ! The grass is turning green and the trees are getting fuzzy looking so I don't think it will be long before we see leaves ............ We are lucky that our snow has disappeared from the ground ( even though we still are getting the odd snowstorm go through ) . I am hoping that the winter viruses are behind us and life gets back to normal ( whatever that is ! )
Have a great week everybody and happy creating !
I could have SWORE I commented on this but now I'm wondering if I even hit SAVE. LOL! Duh. That jungle/buggy scene is such a perfect card for your friends the explorer's. Ok wow what a challenge for them to take on. I'm like you. I would never do that without a plan of attack. Ok well maybe if I had a lot of money saved up I might. Great coloring on all your cards and again love all your layouts. Nice job!! Everyone was probably VERY happy to receive these.
