I Want to go to School

.......at Hogwarts! My daughter laughs at me when I say that, but I love those books and the movies and I want to be a student at Hogwarts! I can't completely decide which house I'd be in......probably Hufflepuff although some days I feel a bit Slytherin (they can't all be evil, right?) Anyway, I am definitely going to see the new movie for my birthday on Saturday! And I just had to make an Ian Harry Potter! It actually took much less altering than I originally intended - once I remembered how close the digital graduation Ian was to Harry. I just flipped him in Photoshop elements, and used the eraser to get rid of his diploma and hat and to erase a little of his gown under his collar so I could draw in a tie. I drew on the glasses and his scar and gave him a wand and Voila! Then my DH said,"Don't you have an owl stamp, too?" Gotta love him!


The Details:
Stamps: Digi Graduation Ian and Owl from Forest Friends - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Doodlefactory
DP: Sunny Glenn and Dirty Rodeo - The Greeting Farm
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:E25,E27,E29
Clothes:C3,C5,C7,C9,R46,R59,Y23,Y26

Thank you for visiting!
Have a Magical day!

I love this Traci! I too am a big H.P. fan. I have some of their secret boxes that Hallmark sold years ago. They are from the 2nd movie I think. And of course I have all the books in hardback and the movies that are on DVD. I am planning on taking my oldest to the new movie too, but not sure what to do with the 2 little ones. HOpefully DH won't have to work and I can leave them home. Anyway, FABULOUS card. I am going to have to look into photoshop if this is the cool stuff you can do!

Traci this is adorable!! :D I have a cousin who is visiting from Hawaii who is a huge HP fan! She would melt seeing this card as that is all she shopped for yesterday at the mall. Wonderful idea altering Grad Ian, he looks absolutely perfect. You are a genius my friend! And DH made an awesome contribution!! :D
