Baby Girl Crocodile Card

Once again I used the February Crocodile Baby image from Beccy's Place but this time I used the uncolored version and did my own coloring for this card. It does not compare in quality at all to the pre-colored version but I still like it. I hope you do too. This will also be entered into the Beccy's Place February Challenge.


I colored my image with a mix of Bic, Sharpies and Copic markers. Then I cut the design out and added it to pattern paper from Beccy's Place using the paper that came with the Vase of Peonies digital stamp set. I found some ribbon with white polka dots on it so I tried to make the ribbon on the crocodile look similar to that. I again added a sentiment from a no longer in business Sparkle N Sprinkle set called Baby oh Baby! I finished the card by adding this all to a white card base.

I am happy to say that now if anyone has a baby in the future I will have a card all ready for them in my stash. I am glad I played a bit today. I need to do some major cleaning this week and get ready for some company on the weekend. And, I am very slow at doing this type of thing as I have to rest often. Sometimes these golden years seem quite tarnished. LOL So until next time take care.

God bless,
Verna

No Verna!! Psalm 92:14 says in your old age you shall be fresh and flourishing!! : ) No tarnish!! just wisdom... rest is a good thing!

Love love love your darling Crocodile cards. I hope you believe me when I tell you I truly do prefer your colored version to the pre-colored version. You did a wonderful job! I just love the polka dotted ribbon on the Crocodile and the matching one you embellished this sweet card with!!

Great "girl version" of this card! You colored the image beautifully, and I like how you matched the crocodile's ribbon with the ribbon on the side of the card!

You did a fabulous job of making this a baby girl card and love how you matched the ribbon. I hear you on the slowing down thing..like you I take breaks...often. I will be gone for about 10 days, but will visit here when I get back and catch up.

I love your crocodile in pink, too. A wonderful image.

Wait, your colored version is every bit as good as the pre-colored version. Really. I love the ribbon matching the croc's ribbon. I saved all of my dotted organdy ribbons when I did the clean out. This is so cute, Verna!

The colouring of the adorable crocodile is fabulous and love the vibrancy of your wonderful card x. A fun idea to match the ribbon with the crocodiles scarf. Enjoy the cleaning.....NOT! x.

You've done an awesome job with the pink version of your baby card Verna, well done! Your colouring is fabulous, I particularly like those rosy red cheeks. The contrast you added between the crocodile and the spotted ribbon is fantastic, great choice of colours.
Good luck with the cleaning... I don't think there are too many people who enjoy it, but it's sure satisfying when it's all done!
Cheers,
Beccy

Gorgeous card Verna - love that you 'matched' the crocodile's ribbon so well with the one you used!
I know what you mean about these golden years being tarnished - I am typing with a splint on thanks to nerve damage... not the easiest
