I finally got home at a shocking 9pm tonight, fortunately I wasn't at work but went to the hairdressers as my hairdresser has convinced me to have some colours put in - something I haven't done in about three years. I think there's two blonds and a copper in there, but I'm not too sure as I just leave him to get on with it
It looks a bit, different, lighter, and I keep looking in the mirror and getting a shock LOL! I'm wondering how far round the office I can get tomorrow before anyone notices it's me!
When I got home I got cracking making up a card using an image of Footballing Jack that I coloured up yesterday after my disaster, and I had an idea to use some of the Quite Contrary MME papers... only to find that Hayley, one of my fellow Ladybug Crafts Ink DT's had made a card using the same papers. I dunno I think we are going to have to start having a rota on who can use what paper and when!
As I was in a creative mood but had him all coloured up already I've carried on, and here's what I came up with
I have to say after being a bit disapointed yesterday I'm really pleased that this one works ok, and no sketch either! Yesterdays card looks so much better now the flowers have been removed and replaced with buttons, thank you to all who came to the rescue!!
I love Jack, but have coloured him with green shades this time, and I think it suits him - plus no doubt would hide the grass stains, so his mum might like it too :-)
The sentiment is one from a set by Cloud 9 Design - it is a lovely set, and contains lots of phrases that are perfect for both cardmaking and scrapbooking. I think my favourite from the set is "A boy is... Trust with dirt on it's face, Beauty with a cut on its finger" This certainly sums my two up and seems more than appropriate for some of the other Jack images too!
Supplies: Image - Football Jack - Ladybug Crafts Ink; Sentiment - Cloud 9 Designs; White Cardstock, "Caper" Bazzill; Papers - My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary and Brown Dot Bo Bunny; Ribbon and Buttons from stash; Momento Tuxedo Black; Copics; Bundled Sage Distress Ink; Timber Brown Stazon; Martha Stewart Border Punch

Oooooh I love going to the hairdresser and getting colours put in, (hahha, sounds like I do it every other week), only 3 times, but it's fun.
Love your Jack card, he looks a super cute boy, full of energy.

I only do copper (or even red) when I put color in my hair. Wonder what it would do to have several colors at a time...
The card is beautiful, love those square buttons!
