Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #79 Birthday

Why, oh why do I have to experience Computer Problems when I am in a hurry to post?! It has taken me two days to get this little card posted. ARGH!

At least I am running early with my creation this week!! Sassy Judy has asked us to use our Sassy Cheryl digis and create "A Birthday for Anyone". Well, my uncle's birthday is this week and I thought "Father's Day Snooze" would be perfect!
The image has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil (rather than odorless mineral spirits) with some Copic markers. The cloudy background was sponged using a scalloped oval template, memento ink and a sponge dauber. The tree "tops" were made using the Cat's Pajama's Cloud Border Cutups and Stampin' Up! Cardstock - Wild Wasabi and Garden Green. The card base is Stampin' Up! Cardstock Brocade Blue and Night of Navy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh and the computer thing. Yep, been there, done that. Isn't it just so irritating!
Thanks for playing in the challenge this week Cynthia.

Hi Cynthia...I think that's called Murphy's Law, isn't it? Computers are great when they're working right...and when they're not...arrgghh!I'm so glad you got this darling card posted, tho, so we can see it! Absolutely delightful! And, you're right...this is a perfect sassy image for a guy card. Your pencil coloring rocks! I love the way you did the sky...it's gorgeous! And using a cloud template for the fluffy tree leaves is BRILLIANT, girlfriend!! I'm just delighted to see you again here at Sassy Cheryl's! Hope your 'puter problems are behind you, darlin'!! Hugs...Pat Frank

Wow, just catching up on your blog and you have been busy. I have computer issues too. I bounce from a VERY old laptop to a desktop and still complain. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one. Ha Ha!I bet your DFIL loved this card. He can use it for an excuse to relax. Lovely card Cynthia.
