I am sorry I have not been around much, but life happens. My Step-mother is in hospital very ill, and we have had to sort out care arrangments for my father for a few weeks, who is 92 next month. We have received an enormous amount of help and support from social services, and I cannot thank them enough for this at what has been a really difficult time for Dad..
Anyway on to my card. At Moving Along With The Times the theme is Fantasy - and this can be interpreted any way you want.. We were lucky enough to be given some images from Bugaboo, and I chose Ruby Tidbits - Tequila. Now Ruby is doing the splits - even if I had had a bottle I don't think I could achieve this - so this is definitely a Fantasy.
I have followed the sketch from Midnight Madness. The background papers are K & Co Que Sera papers (well tequila is tropical) and I have picked out the blue for the border across the middle with I have also put through the cuttlebug with a embossing folder, and added a punched border on top with a piece of ribbon. Ihave coloured the image in copics, and added a bit of Stickles to her boots. The background has been lightly brushed with distress ink and then stamped over with a stipple stamp. A toning flower from Prima completes the picture.
