Steampunk mermaid!

Good afternoon. I've been very industrious today, cleaned the house right through (it really needed it after having my granddaughters to stay at the weekend, they are gorgeous but busy and messy!-nothing that doesn't clean up though!) and cleared all the ironing! Feeling so virtuous now and rewarding myself with time to play!
This card is made using a  fabulous image from Delicious Doodles, (you can find it here) I coloured her with copics and framed her in some oval shaped die cuts which have been randomly stamped with some tiny gear and cog stamps. Various die cuts are added to the frame. The clock is a Debbie Moore stamp, coloured with copics, cut out and crackle glazed I love the effect of this! I finished it off with a few tiny pearls.

 

Quick update on Mathilda's paws: she actually cut both right hand (leg??!) paws and her right hind leg and needed stitches in all three cuts! Poor girly had to wait until Friday because she'd eaten and the vet needed to anaesthetise her. Here she is feeling a bit sorry for herself, but sporting some very fetching purple bandages

convalescing on the sofa!

 

 

Keeping said bandages dry is a bit of a problem as the local pet store doesn't stock waterproof booties in her size, so we have been covering them with plastic bags when she goes outside.... you never know when you're going to need 'a bag for life'! I wonder if they'll replace them for free now that they have holes in them!!!

 

She's been back to the vet today to have the stitches wounds checked, happily they are healing well! (She now has blue bandages....)

 

Well that's all for now, thanks for visiting, hope you have a pleasant evening.

Chris
