Yeehaw.

I love this digi from Mo's Digital Pencil. I think it's an absolute scream. I hesitated before buying it though as I didn't think I'd be able to do any sort of a decent job colouring it. But, my dad's birthday is at the end of this month and this stamp was too perfect to pass up. So, I decided not to get my knickers in a knot, and I just went for it. Not that I was actually wearing knickers. And by knickers, I mean like golf knickers, not like undies knickers. I don't refer to underwear as knickers....I did have a pair of knickers once when I was a kid though, that's the golf-style to be clear. They were awesome.

Here's the card......

I showed this to my kids when it was just 'bout done. My oldest said, "Hey, that actually looks like grandpa." My youngest said, "Nice. I really like it." My middle one said, "Noooooooooo, don't put those sequins on it! I think it looks better without them.....noooooooooo whhhhhhy aaaaaareeeeeee yooooooou gluuuuuuuuuing thhhooooooose seeeeeeequuuuuins dooooooooown, you neeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeeer listen to meeeeeeeeeeeeee."

If I would have known it was going to be that big of an issue for him I would have finished the card after he went to bed.

Wanna know what's got me snickering?  It's that hairy twine.  Didn't know it was that gnarly until I was looking at the picture on my screen.  Kinda makes me think of how old men can have scraggly hair coming out of their ears and/or noses (and, in the case of my dad, some wickedly wild eyebrow hair) that needs trimmed.

And, now that I've implanted that image in you head, I think I'll go.
