Happy birthday Dad

This is the card that I made for my FIL a few weeks ago. The result of a Friday evening in a hotel room with my Copic pens. I was away for the weekend on the brilliant Copicific retreat run by Wendy from Stamps and Memories and Dawny P, such a fun weekend with brilliant company and lots of lovely food and crafting. I went down the evening before, booked into my room, promptly re-arranged all the lighting in the room and coloured away!!! I was really pleased with the result, especially as I thought it would look like a woodpecker by the time I had finished with it!!

I am going to enter it into the following challenges:
Rubys Rainbow - Wings
Digital Tuesday - Anything goes
Paper Sundaes - Digital
2 Sisters - Anything goes
Crafty Catz - Digital Image
The Paper Variety - Family
DutchDare - Punch/dies

I have used a fabulous digi stamp by the Sketching Stamper
Sentiment is Personal Impressions
Coloured with Copic Sketch and Ciao pens
DP is Basic Grey
Martha Stewart Scallop punch
Nestibilities Square and Fleur de lys dies
Pearls and Card from stash
Glossy Accents

A close up!!

Hope you like it

Hugs Jo x
