Tiddly Inks Challenge #110

I actually played along with a challenge!

Tiddly Inks' current challenge is to "use a Wryn"... and the Wryns happen to be my favorite line of Christy's images!  So, without further ado:

I used the "Wryn New Nest" image... isn't it adorable?  I know, I know... where is the creepiness, Barb?  I told you I've been mojo-less lately, and this image was springy and upbeat, so I decided to forgo the macabre this time around :)

Patterned papers:  My Mind's Eye

Grass punch:  Martha Stewart

Die:  Square Nestabilities

Main Copic colors:

skin:  E11, 00, 000, R20 cheeks

hair:  YR23, Y26, 23, 21

pink:  R85, 83, 81

tree:  E57, 53, 51

Yes, I DID fussy-cut the image!

I also drew in the higher branch of the tree to give a little more height to the image.

And yes, pop dots are my friends :)

What do you think?

A little life update...

Bad news...  I just haven't been feelin' the creative mojo as of late.

What sucks worse, is the fact that I actually have a teensie bit of spare time that I could be using to get a little artsy.  WTH?

I can only organize my studio so many times before there is just nothing left to do but create ;)

Good news... I made a card today!  I'll be posting it soon :)

Bad news... I REALLY miss working at The Scrapbook Page part time since they have closed.

I loved the people I had worked with, and so many of the customers had become friends.

Good news...  my Architectural design business is BOOMING!  I'm extremely busy right now, which is definitely a sign that the economy is on the rise.

My favorite current project is a large custom house for a 10 acre site... fun!

Bad news... diabetes really really REALLY sucks.

Good news... I'm doing really well with diet and am actually eating healthier than I ever have before.

Now to just get off my boo-tay and work out!

AWESOME news... Mama altered a pair of my nice dress slacks and she took 4-1/2" out of the waist alone!

That is all for now... just thought I'd let everyone know what's been up :)

Stay tuned for my cute Copic coloring goodness!
