Special Request

Good Morning all - a beautiful sunny morning with blue skies, albeit a bit chilly due to frost overnight, but it is definitely good to see the sun.

I received a request from a friend to make a birthday card for her husband who is a keen amateur artist and I agreed because I knew there was an image on one of the My Craft Studio discs featuring an artist.  Unfortunately my memory didn't serve me too well as the 'artist' was actually a female one called Violet!! However there is a companion disc with a character called Alfie so with a bit of editing and playing around within the programme I was able to produce a male artist and of course I could include her husband's name on the greeting and on the insert so hopefully she will think this card suitable. Backing papers are also from the same disc and I added some pen squiggles - the paint tube and palette were cut out and layered for dimension.

  5. How clever Val! This is brilliant and I'm sure will bring pleasure to the recipient. I haven't a clue how to mess about with CDs and such like. It's click and go for me I'm afraid.

  6. I had to chuckle over Violet. Your final result is definitely masculine so however you tweaked Violet it worked superbly. The kraft & blue with white looks so good & I love the little paint palette with the details of the tubes.
