TLC Downton Abbey "Mice Dance"

Greetings!

Hi my name is Candy and I am a TV junkie.  lol  I do enjoy television; however, I prefer a majority of shows that stimulate my intellect with a few guilty pleasures thrown in here and there.  One of my intellectual shows that is also a guilty pleasure is Downton Abbey.  If you have not been watching this show check it out on Nexflix, PBS channel or something.  It is so worth it.  I LOVE this show.  I love everything about it...the writing, the clothes (oh how I love the clothes), the history and the settings.  It is just one of those shows that is packed with all kinds of goodies.  Well, I snagged an image from Paulette over at Create with TLC a while back and this weekend I was playing around and pulled it out to color.  As you may or may not recall, I colored up a truck "Betsey" a few post back entirely rust color. I chose this image initially because of the tin pan.  I wanted to practice adding rust to an image while preserving its intended color as well. 

Here's my image...


Well, once the card was completed, I immediately thought that it reminded me of Downton Abbey character's Mr. Carson and Daisy. *gigl*  I used Basic Grey Oxford paper's collection, SU cardstock, and buttons from Oriental Trading.  I colored the entire tin pan with Copics W5, 3, and 1.  I then went back over it in certain spots with E09, E07 and E01 to make it look rusty.  I will continue to practice because it is fun to add another texture or feel to an image.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
