Hello lovely peeps,
I am so not happy with the husband! I've had a traumatic morning trying to feed his bearded dragons their salad. I always make hubs hand feed them their live food so there aren't any locust or crickets hopping around their home so that when he is at work & I need to feed them there are no creepy crawlies in there as I really don't like those horrid creatures. This morning I put my hand in the dragons Vavarium to take out the salad bowls to feed them & I was just about to pick Millie the smaller dragon up & had the fright of my life when a large locust jumped over my hand. I was trying to convince myself the dragons would be fine without salad this morning but my conscience got the better of me & so it was a case of marigolds on, sleeves tucked in, beady eyes on the locusts & very slowly edging my hand in to reach the bowls while all the time quietly cursing the husband lol. I can't cope with going through that again at tea time so if Millie & Merlin haven't eaten those locusts by then I think I'll be quickly opening the door, forget the bowls & throw the salad in and shutting the door again very quickly lol.
Today is
The image I've used on today's card is super cute little Sweet Friends Marci & I have used the Filigree Corner Die on the corners of my frame. I made the frame by simply using a rectangle of card & cutting an aperture using my largest rectangle nestie. I then covered it with a couple of layers of Picket Fence crackle paint and when dry added the Filigree corners which I painted using Pewter crackle paint.
The Copic colours I've used are -
skin -E11, E00, E000, R20, hair - E44, E43, E41, clothes - B95, B93, B91 / W4, W2, W0.
Panda - N9, N7, N5 / C1, C0, C00 / RV55, RV10.
The papers I've used are from a Papermania pad called Lucy Cromwell, The feathers were from Etsy, Blue twirly branch is from Magnolia, white twirly from The Ribbon Girl & the little bows I have had for ages & I think were from a craft show.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Make It Monday - anything goes, Inspire Me Friday - anything goes
Gareth has just come home for a bath before work which I thought was strange as from 2am this morning he started house sitting for our friends who have gone to Australia for a month, but the penny has just dropped! Of course if he comes home for a bath or shower he'll leave his dirty washing for good old mum to do, he's not daft that lad lol.
Have a lovely weekend & thanks for stopping by
