The gorgeous image is 'By The River' from Lili of the Valley. I've used my favourite DCWV paper from 'Latte' Stack. I love it because it's so retro and great for masculine cards too. Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. Leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Twine is from stash. The lovely Green Sparklets are from My Crafty Heart and I Love them so much!!!
Colouring isn't brilliant but I was in a rush. And as always for me - I have used a complete mishmash (I know you love that word Chrissy!! LOL) of pens. So there's Copics, Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Spectrums altogether!!! I've added a little bit of Kars 'Rainbow White' glitter to the water hoping it looks like sun sparkling on it !!
I am spending So much time trying to get decent photos of my cards at the moment. It is driving me crazy. Today I got my camera out early afternoon and the sky went green/black - it was hail, thunder and lightning!! The Gods were displeased today!! I gave up and took photo above this evening with a lamp so hope it's ok!!

This is gorgeous Sue,love the image and papers.xxx
This card really made me smile Sue I love that image and paper stack so much (yes I have both!) You make me want to get mine out lol
There is nothing wrong with the colouring and I like that you have used every type of pen made to achieve the right shades!
I use Photoshop to tweak the light on my pictures but some days you can't do anything about it!
Hugs Laurie xx

Wow Sue, I love your colouring of this littl lad and it doesn't look like a "mish mash" at all, it looks fab! I love that glittery effect on the water too and love those sparkly bits ;) The papers look great too, your Uncle will love it! Your piccie has come out well, but I sometimes take my piccies in the bathroom in the morning as the light is really good there...I do have a light box (from Amazon) but never use the lights, just the box! & on a bright window ledge! I don't think that's the right thing to do, but it works for me, most of the time:) Big Hugs, Teresa xxx
