Oooooh, I'm so sorry for you!

My mom broke her foot... for the third time in 3 years.  We are starting to think she's doing it on purpose, LOL.   I had to make her this funny sympathy card.  She's got a good sense of humor.

Image by Mo Manning, The Damsel.
I'll follow later with a step-by-step tutorial with how I colored her.
I used watercolor markers and a waterbrush.
I've only entered into one challenge.    Mo's challenge is to add bling and a Mo image.
I used some sticky back gems and a big K&Co fabric/bling brad, and some stickles on the leaves, hat, shoes and the little buttons on her coat.
Here's detail of the image and her bling. 
Thanks for stopping in!

You're how old?

Hello!   I made a card for my Father-in-law kind of in a hurry.  I had this horse digital image already printed, and since the card was from the kids anyway, I figured he'd get a laugh.  He's a country fella.
The image and sentiment are in the Saddle Up digital product at Doodle Pantry.

I also did a color step-by-step tutorial for this image at the Doodle Pantry Blog HERE, if you're interested in seeing that.
Here's my card. It's a regular A2 size.  The arrow things are from an old Spellbinders die S3-006.  The papers are digital from a couple different products.  Other than the watercoloring, there isn't anything else terribly complex about this card.  I just had a lot of fun coloring him up!
 Here's a close up.
