Say Hello to Eldon......

Hello from a wind blown and very dusty Sydney.......

We woke this morning to an eerie light.....it was orange....very weird, and blowing a gale, couldn't see across the valley at all. It seems we've inherited tons of topsoil from Wagga Wagga!!! It's everywhere a fine layer of red dust covering every surface in the house...... I've been going round like a demented woman first with the vacuum and then with a duster.... all to no avail. I think tomorrow will be a major clean through, ah well so long as the roof stays on we'll be fine!

When I checked my computer this morning I found a new post from Curt who introduced Eldon. Eldon is a digital image from Nina over at There's Magic In The Air, he's free.... to a good home.... but if you take hime you should submit a card in their weekly challenge.

So Eldon came to live at my place cos I think he's a bit of a cutie (Walshie's not so sure.....but what does he know!).

I coloured him with Copics, I'm really trying to get a handle on these (at last) used a label nestie to cut him out and sat him on a split label in red.

My card base is white and I've folded it not quite in half. I embossed a layer of Bazzill pale blue/green card with the Cuttlebug and Swiss dots.

To the bottom half of the card I attached some Basic Grey striped card (oops I know... I couldn't resist though) along with the red ribbon. The image was then attached so it sits just off the front of the card.

The sentiment, attached to the bottom was hand written and mounted to a scrap of the bazzill card. Easy peezy!!!!!

So that's Eldon... what do you think? I think he's a keeper I'll use him on lots of cards.

Thanks so much from dropping by and thanks also for all those who leave me comments I really appreciate it.

Till next time............
