Extra Life - Dr. Digi

I have some exciting news!!  I'm now on the Dr Digi's House of Stamps Design Team.  This opportunity took my by surprised and made me one happy gal :o)

Here's my first DT post.

An unusual first post for some, but I wanted to make a "Get Well" card for the gamer in your life.  I went old school arcade. My oldest son thought this was SO cool, 2 thumbs up.   The cool designer paper is also from Dr. Digi called Arcade Addict Paper Backing.  I thought the sentiment would be funny for a get well card, which is part of the Techy Sentiment Sheet from Dr. Digi.  What gamer doesn't want an extra life and when you are sick, that's what you are hoping for.

I used Arcade Machine from Dr. Digi as my main image.  Bet you are wondering about the pac-man screen on the machine.  The screen is actually the Arcade Addict Paper Backing.  I shrank it down to fit the screen, but you couldn't really see the details.  So, I enlarged it slightly so you can see the pac-man details.  This was done in Photoshop using a masking technique.  The image was colored in colored pencils.  I fussy cut the pac-man and his ghosts to put on the side, they are part of the sentiment sheet.  This was a lot of fun to make.

Here's the inside.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
