Anyway, onwards. I am honoured this week to have a GDT spot over at JACKSONS DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS. *inserts big smiley* This week they have a challenge theme 'Inks & Such' so I used plenty of inks on my birthday tag. The image is one of Robert Jacksons that I chose as part of my prize last week. These images are really all African American but I've coloured my lady white (only because I don't know how to colour any other skin tone, lol).
My background is done with my distress ink pads and then run through my bug with T.H's bingo embossing folder. The corners are stamped with a Paper Artsy stamp. I did the text strips myself, printed them off and then inked them too. The image is coloured with Promarkers. The other embellies were in one of those Jolie's packs that must have been in my drawer for about 6 years and I've never had a use for it. I've still got the slot machine left too, lol. Do you remember when these packs were the best thing since sliced bread? How tastes change eh?

Hi Lorraine - what a fun tag! Great image and I love the bingo embossing.
You have my sympathies re: your oven - the thermostat broke on ours a few years ago ... in the middle of cooking the Christmas Cake well, Christmas goo! Thank goodness our microwave has a convection oven too so we could finish the cake off.
Anyway, I digress - thanks for joining the "Happy Birthday" fun at Lexi's Creations.
