Digital Stamps

So this is an interesting day!!!

Please note - when sitting at PC make sure windows and doors are shut!!!!

don't ask if they are painful ............don't ask if they itch ...................don't ask if they are driving me barmy!!!!!!

I was sitting researching pictures for a future posting and never felt a thing.  It wasn't until the little blighter flew in front of my eyes and I swatted it that I realised it was a nasty mozzy.  Bah!

........................... it won't bite any one else!!!

I have been a follower of this blog for some time -
 http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com
- but never visited her actual site. HoweverI  did go there earlier on this week and downloaded some freebies.  I have never worked with digital stamps - I know 'boring!'  the girl can't help it she loves making cards!!! - and have really been interested in how they work so have been reading a lot of blogs.

This month in my swap group  I have signed up for a swap that is stamping defined but as I don't 'do' stamping I thought this would be my chance to use a digital stamp.  I sorted through all her digitals and downloaded a little girl blowing bubbles.  I have printed it out on paper and card so I can try several mediums - does that sound technical?  ok!  I want to try colouring with pencils and then using my waterbrush.  I sat outside under the parasol trying it out when I remembered it is my cousins who can draw!!

I enjoyed myself and there were several editions until I ended up with this.  It is the finished card that I will send for my swap.

The scan is not very good as she is blonde, the bubbles glisten and the blue matting is glitter paper.  The verse inside reads - May your worries be as light as bubbles.

I don't think I will do this again ..................... although possilby just adding one colour might be easier.......................... and I could use just the pencils - I enjoyed the colouring bit  ............although I ended up painting it, using the pencil points as a colouring box!  Perhaps a different subject - we will see.

off topic  ...........
The road outside the back of our house is now closed off.  After hearing a very loud bang, I have found out that some taxi driver has run into a beautiful new white car.  Both cars are smashed but both drivers and passengers are ok - shook up but ok.  The police eventually came and now they are trying to sort it all out.  I don't envy them.  The taxi drivers 'friends'  arrived almost immediately and swarmed round the poor English driver of the white car.  As the white car is on the correct side of the road and the taxi is halfway across I presume - I may be wrong - that the taxi was belting it down the hill, and missed the bend.  It was a very loud bang, the taxi's airbag has gone off and the passenger is walking around holding his right shoulder, perhaps he was thrown against the seat belt.  heigh ho!!!  at least it is quiet out there although the traffic out front is building up as drivers slow down to see what has happened.  It must be at least a fortnight since anything like this happened. 
Remember Hill St Blues?  You all take care out there ................................
