to my dad {yesterday} and to Jeaniebella/the chicken {today}! I have a card in the works for Jeanie, but my dad got a card from one of my other fav companies/artists...Anna Wight from Whippersnapper Designs. Have I told you that I have a small thing for barnyard animals, LOL!! Now my family is not a Ford family, my dad worked for Cadillac, and walked to work every day. I love this image so much, I won't hold the Ford emblem against it! hehe
This car is not pink, by the way. I was asked this by my friend...I was like, is that how it will come across on the computer!? I guess it is a different shade of red, isn't it...
This is colored with my prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I didn't add glitter, but I used my Ranger Glossy Accents on the headlights and Ford emblem. This stuff is just so awesome, thick & crystal clear!
I think the paper is Cosmo Cricket? Maybe it was October Afternoon? I am gonna need to look for that scrap of paper...it drives me a little crazy when I don't remember.
Hope you are all having a fun weekend and see ya when I get back from Toronto!! ...adios
Paula, your dad is going to love this! Your colouring is just simply amazing. Thank-you so much for all the time you took to show me the lettering you do on your cards! Have a wonderful Sunday at BellaLand!

Hey there Paula! So glad you clarified the "pink" hehe. I know your dad worked for Cadillac and wasn't sure if he always wanted a pink car! See you when you get home. Have a safe trip back.

Fabby job on this one Paula. Doesn't look pink to me. That image would be perfect for my hubby, he drives a red F150. May have to pick that one up! Hope you had a great time in Toronto!

Hi Paula, I took your class in Toronto, and I want to thank you so much. The card for your dad is so...well beautiful. Can you say that about a man's card? It gives me an idea about my own father's upcoming birthday.

I love drawing chickens....I have wanted to come up with a line of funky chickens for a while and title them "What the Cluck!!"...LOL
I think that is back on my list for the digitals...LOL

I have already given you my opinion on this one when I got your email! It is stunning! When your dad grows tired of it tell him to send it to me, lol.
