Forever Young....at heart


What I love about Dr Digi's images, is how they play so well into cards for members of my family.  Here we have El Gordo, who's not afraid to strut his stuff.  Full of vim and vigor, and not a day over 29...I'm sure!

Once again, I've coloured the image with markers and used the 'out of the box' technique to cut him out.  I've puffed him out with a few extra layers and some foam dots for extra dimension.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is also from Dr Digi, from one of the sentiment sheets which can be found here.

I pulled a MS 'round the page' punch out of hibernation to cut out the background DP, and coloured a bit of paper candi for embellihment.  If you look close, you will see a bit of gold edging and some tiny gold peel-offs for accent.
