Sarcastic Parrot

 Morning and I have a bottle tag to share today-The stamped image is Parrot from Katzelkraft watercoloured with my paints from Art by Marlene .The  stamped sentiment which seemed to give a sarcastic match to the Parrots expression was a craft mag freebie and the backgrounds were from a previous stencilling project and I just sprayed the used stencil with water and placed face down on card so you got the negative stencil, the scalloped die was from Creative Dies.

Retirement

Morning and I have a retirement card to show today -I did have an image but after being kept awake last night till late then woken up early with noisy neighbours I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to colour-then saved because I had a Spring fold card to make for a private challenge tutorial HERE. and whilst looking for papers I found a clock image-clocks-retirement-right? so saved by the clock lol

The topper was cut from a Hunkydory paper,P,paper and gems were from stash and the sentiment was computer generated in Dafont.
