It is a beautiful spring morning and as I sit here typing this the birds are going absolutely crazy out in the garden. A wonderful start to the day.
Yesterday had a very noisy afternoon, with our grandson having his 5th birthday party and 10 little 5/6year olds running around making as much noise as possible, but it was great to be part of it and then return home to a quiet evening.
It is once again new release day at Digistamps4Joyand as usual some stunning digis. The one I chose to work with is 'Einstein wannabee' by Margy.
If you go over to the BLOG you will see lovely cards made by the DT...they really are stunning.
Here is how I did it.
Paper...created my own background by inking the embossing folder and putting it through open not closed. The embossing is not very deep, but the colour is there.
Image..Einstein wannabe...coloured with distress inks and the jacket is paper pieced, then cut with a cutting die. Added glossy accents on his glasses.
Sentiment...computer generated
Metal charm with twine.
Will enter it in some challenges.

Hi Ursula. You are really good at coloring with your distress inks hey!! I have quite a few distress inks but have never tried coloring with them!! (don't think I'm artistic enough, but I might give it a try sometime!! LOL!!)
Your Einstein is super cool!!
