The musician's birthday


     Happy Sunday all!  It's my turn to share some Mo's Digital Pencil goodness with you.  One of the young men in our church has a birthday today.  We have a large number of his extended family that are members and they are VERY musically talented.  I decided to create his birthday card with Mo's Johan.
     I wanted to create a bit of a fun background so I used a stencil and some texture paste tinted with Distress inks to create a brick wall behind him.


Copics Used:
skin E000, E00, E11, E13
hair N3, N5, N7
coat and hat E31, E33, E35
scarf Y11, Y21, YR23
shirt B95, B97, B99, R35, R37
backpack G82, G94, G99
satchel E23, E25
belt and guitar case N3, N5, N7
jeans B93, B95, B97
boots E71, E74, E79
sidewalk W3, W5

     Here's the inside.

     Don't forget that we have started a brand new challenge over at Mo's DP2.  We have switched to monthly challenges so you have lots of time to play along.  We have an optional theme of "Green" this time if you'd like to use it or you can use our standard "Anything Goes".
     Be blessed!

Supplies:  
Paper--My Mind's Eye "Collectable--Remarkable", Recollections, Copic XPress-it Blending card
Stamps--Mo's Digital Pencil "Johan"
Ink--Aged Mahogany, Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood Distress inks
Tools--My Craft Spot Tiny Banners and Toppers die, Want 2 Scrap Brick stencil

Fabulous card Tracy. I love your colouring as always, but the way you did those bricks - genius! I bought this image last year and have yet to colour - you have given me inspiration. Have a wonderful day.

WOW!! Where do I start?? I love the image, the design is terrific and the wall ...unbelievable! I hope they recognise just how talented you are my friend!

Oh, Tracy!! This is fabulous, and your coloring is amazing along with the brick wall!! This young man is going to flip when he sees this card! What a precious gift to give him...something so artful (like his music) and something you've given of yourself...the love and work that has gone into this. Surely he and his family will be deeply touched. It's amazing! You continue to amaze, and I thank God for the gifts he has given you that you've shared with us! Hugs, sweet friend!
