I chose an image from Digistamps 4 Joy, "Ellies Flowers" for my Lucky card this fortnight.  Thought she was just right for a bit of doodling.  If you haven't tried this type of doodling give it ago, can be done anywhere, just need a fine pen/marker, you could make up a little kit and carry it in your purse to while away those time you are sitting waiting for someone/appointments etc.  It is very addictive.

These pages were done to see how Ellie looked with different patterns, the flowers have been coloured with distress ink pens in green (think clover).

For my card, I printed the image straight onto some white cardstock, did another pattern, coloured the flowers, added a four leaf clover (hint: place four hearts together to make 4 leaf clover)  Added a sentiment and some ribbon on the inside of the card, (the back of the card extends out from the top)

This week we looking for different fonts and I have used "Joey" to make an ATC, in fact 2 ATCs.   

First thing I did was to hand colour Joey with copic pens, I then scanned my coloured image.  Now I can use Joey over and over if I want.

I created a background with scribble brushes and added a couple of Dr Seuss quotes in different fonts. Next I printed out the background and one sentiment only.  Added my coloured Joey and the sentiment to an ATC canvas background.

And drum rolll......

Here is the digital version, as I sometimes swap digitally, Joey looks like he could be doing some digital travelling.  The other one will go by snail mail.
