Messing with your eyes....

Good news..it's raining!  That means that the temperature has risen to slightly above freezing and we aren't getting more snow and freezing rain.  It's also melting some of the ice...so with luck I may be able to get my basement door open again.  One could almost pretend it's spring...ha ha ha, compared to the weather of the last 3 weeks anyway.


I have a couple of family birthdays coming up and need a few masculine cards, so here goes one of them.  The image, titled Throwback Fred, is from Just Inklined.  Nice and easy to colour up and perfect for one of those 'cool dudes'.

So how are your eyes?  I find mine go a bit screwy whenever I look at this card.  I wanted to do something different, and it is...ha ha.   I've used my new Spellbinders Classic Squares die to cut out the image and layer him up, at an angle no less.  Then, I've followed that angle with borders made of washi tape.  So really, it's okay, it's not a problem with your eyes!

Thanks again for your visit, and be sure to check out some of the challenges that I have entered too.

    Well the snow hasn't reached us yet!! But then we've still had rain this week although it was frosty last night. Maybe it's on its way. Happy Sunday.
