Make a Wish

I can't resist buying new digis right now! I find it quite therapeutic to colour them in, so that's my excuse. I've got a lap tray for crafting, so can colour propped up in bed, but the actual making things part is more difficult. I work in chaos, and don't have a good desk for crafting, so I have to make cards on the floor. So I have quite a few coloured images and not so many made into stuff.

However, this little boy captured my heart. I had great fun colouring him in, and I had a card design in mind as I coloured him, so I just *had* to actually get it done. I'm glad I finally got my grey Promarkers too, makes colouring just that bit nicer without having to think about whether I have darker shades available.

The image is "Autumn Leaves" from The Paper Shelter. Autumn colours are lovely, and it's the season I probably cope with the best temperature-wise. To try to keep with these colours I used a background paper from PaperStreetDesigns.com, and the paler strip is another digital paper made by Correen Silke for ComputerScrapbook.com.

The sentiment is from a clear stamp set I have, and is inked onto some paper salvaged from a Kraft envelope.

There are a few tools I need for making cards easier though! One being a sturdy ruler and a set square ideally. Maybe some stencils. If someone would also trade hands with me, to make fussy cutting leaves easier I would be much obliged! Mine don't agree well with scissors sometimes.

All in all, though, I'm happy with today's work. Sunday seems to be the best day for me to craft as I'm probably at my most rested. Thanks for reading today!
