DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY DT


Hello Everyone...

Hope you are feeling chipper...I have butterflies in my tummy as I'm off to hospital tomorrow for a bit of surgery on my back.I'm having a melanoma removed as it started to grow rather rapidly and was really left too long..but hope it all goes well and be back blogging over the weekend.

But for today it is Delightful Thursday..and time to share my inspiration card showcasing another fabulous image from the  Digital Delights Store 

This time I got to play with the cutest little guy..." Water Turtle " 




There he is..sitting up on his rock taking a little breather after all that swimming around in his pond.

He is all coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and parts of his shell..flippers and weed was decoupaged.



The water was coloured with  B00 copic and shaded with blue pencil and glossy accents added for shine...added some glitter to his spots on his flippers..



Gave him some ric rac and loads of tiny buttons...even tied a bow in the bigger button up top..

So there we go..just ate a lovely bowl of hot satay and blistered behind my front teeth.. but I think a pixie caramel may make it feel better  [yep!...fell off the wagon]

Thanks so much for stopping by...will try to catch up with you all when I'm back from hospital...meanwhile take care and will see you soon...

luv CHRISSYxx
