Anyone for a game?

Hi everyone, and apologies for being MIA! I'd just like someone to explain to me how a bad headache can last for three days and then culminate in a horror of a migraine! Have just felt generally grot and with a bad head really could not face a computer screen! But thankfully it seems to have all subsided a bit so keeping my fingers crossed. I've a nasty suspicion it's all to do with being at 'an interesting age' lol!  One that usually involves mood swings that have the family retreating to a safe distance, playing hokey cokey with the duvet every night and a memory that feels like someone keeps pressing the delete button! Sigh.

Anyway, less of my moaning waffle! I'll make a concerted effort to catch up with all your lovely blogs and see what everyone has been up to!

Just wanted to share another 'inspiration' card for you using one of the February releases from Whimsy digital stamps.  This time I've used a fabulous Marika Collins digi called 'basketballer'


I've coloured the image with promarkers and a little bit of pencil for detail. 


The papers are from First Edition, the sentiment is also from Whimsy and the ribbon and gems from stash. I've used a Tonic punch for the edge. 
Do pop over to have a look at the gorgeous range of digi stamps released this month by Whimsy - there's something for everyone! 
Back soon, 
Kim  x

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:-
Cards in Envy - polka dots
DaisyDoodles - anything goes
PaperPlaytime - use a sentiment stamp

    Hi Kim,
    I know exactly where you are coming from with the migraine, memory, mood swings (all at that interesting age lol) - I have similar symptons to you, so you have my full sympathy and I hope you feel much better.
    Your card is gorgeous and I love everything about it, especially the super sassy image which is coloured beautifully :0) Michelle

    Kim, been there, done that as far as the "interesting age" goes. Luckily this too shall pass. Your card is a real winner! Love the digi stamp you chose and all the great details your card includes. The border punch really goes nicely and sets your card apart. Great coloring as well! Thank you for playing along with us at Cards in Envy. Hope to see you again on our upcoming challenges.

    Hi Kim,
    so sorry to hear you have not been well. My hubby suffers with migraines, and it is food related to skimmed milk powder, and would you believe it's in nearly everything.
    Your card is super and that image is coloured so beautifully.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
