Well if I thought January flew by then that was nothing on February. The short month always throws me for some reason even though I know it will happen every year.
In the UK we are still on lockdown and I have now been added to the shielding list so my life has been curtailed. I have stepped up my exercise big time in a bid to get fitter and healthier so it has given me the kick up the derriere I needed. I have been booked in for my 1st Covid jab today and we are so lucky in the UK that over 20 million jabs have already been done.
*** Update Had my 1st Jab - it was the Oxford one and have had reaction to it with fever, headaches, extreme tiredness, hopefully it should only last a few days ***
Anyhoo, It is the start of a new month and I am back with my DT hat on for
As long as you made a card with the February freebie you will automatically get the March image free. It is a fabulous way to use images from artists you many not have used before. Also sometimes the image is completely different to something you would normally use. It has been a good way for me to stretch my creativity and take me out of my comfort zone.
I would highly recommend anyone who is not already taking part to jump in and have a go. We are a really friendly bunch at The Outlawz.
This month we are sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls
We have been given this super cute image Lulu Bee to play with this month. It is absolutely perfect for a birthday card for a little girl over the road who will be 2 later this month.
I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added a glitter gel pen for pink accents. I coloured the wings with a grey marker and then went over the top with a clear Sakura glitter pen.
I used the current Wednesday Sketch from the Outlawz as inspiration for the layout.
I took some papers from my stash (which are all offcuts... yay!) I distressed the edges by running a pink marker around them.
The sentiment is a die Happy Birthday with Numbers from Spellbinders. It is a decent size and you get the numbers to go inside so you can diecut as required. You also get the heart but I used a couple of red stickers instead.
I hope we will see you enter our challenge at The Outlawz and look forward to seeing the entries using this image.

ReplyDeleteShielding is a pain, my last real outing was 6th March last year, so a couple of days short of a year, but you do get used to it.
