Congratulations to Wedgie as MIM's featured blogger and also to Tracey Brossart for being chosen as the winning commenter.
Our sponsor this week is Digi My World and I chose this fab retro image to play with. Isn't she cute? You can find it here. I had a lot of my Copics go dry last week and took them to be refilled. Well... not happy, usually I find that they don't put enough ink in them but a different girl did them this time and there is ink going everywhere, I ruined 6 images on Thursday as the ink either leaked before I even touched the brush to the card or if I managed to get it to paper, it just spread out at the lightest touch. Almost makes me think that they have been watered down, I can't understand why the ink would be just pouring out like that,
LOL, it took me 3 goes with this image and one I got 3/4 done and then one of the markers leaked all over
it - very frustrating
Here is the card I made with this fab image: This is a pop up card - larger than I would normally make but I can see myself making it again after doing some adjustments to the measurements. It all lays flat to put in an envelope

Back of Card -(edited) I took a picture with the camera, still not quite right though still a bit bright (and crooked, LOL) but you get the gist of it!!!
