National Nurses Day Card

To all nurses.. Happy Nurses Day on May 6th and for the week following!

A couple of years ago i was asked by a customer on Etsy if i could make some Nurse Day Cards, until she asked me i wasn't aware of this recognition.  Since that time i try to remember in April to make a few nurse cards.

Today i made this card using a My Besties digital Nurse image..she is just so pretty!

To find the full image of this My Besties you need to go to here.

I have also used several dies on this card:
Brown rectangle die- Noor/Joy Crafts
Star- Nellie Snellen
Corner die- Cheery Lynn
Circle dies- Lifestyle (I hand punched the holes on the circle)

Copics used:
skin- YR000, 00, E02
hair- E53, 55, 57
eyes- BG13, E55
hat- R35, 37, 39, W1, 3, CB

Challenges:

My Besties and Frozen's Elsa

Did you wonder what i meant by the title?  I thought this image with her lovely braid had an "Elsa" look.  The whole image doesn't but this cropped part does..i think.

Before the movie came out our family (grandkids/kids and my husband and myself) went to Disney...they had all sorts of Frozen merchandise because the move was going to be released..of course not seeing the movie we had no idea which character would be popular..looking at the merchandise i liked Olaf and the Disney Store's Animated Anna toddler (not the one in the retail stores)..i purchased the Anna toddle for my doll collection.  My daughter wanted to get my granddaughter Anna's coronation dress from the Disney World but thought it would be available at the mall's Disney Store..but nope, it was exclusive to the park...which she didn't discover until we were on our way back home in the car..so we started to do some searching and found it on Ebay even less expensive than the park!  Of course, any of you that have been paying attention to the merchandise after the movie have seen that Elsa is the chosen character...and before Christmas and even now you can't find her doll.  I still didn't like the toddler doll, she wasn't as cute.

So, with the popularity of this character and the fact that my grand daughter loves Elsa and sings her song, i made this card using My Besties image 308:

All i can say is that i love My Besties "BIG", they are so fun to color..just wish i had endless Copic refills.
