I'm using my first digi stamp!!!!! At one time in my career (for about 10 yrs.) I was an ICU nurse, so I like this image. I purchased it here from glitterbabe: http://glitterbabesartshop.blogspot....max-results=15
This will go to a friend who recently had surgery. I hope it will bring a smile to her face. Of course hospital gowns don't have such pretty bows!!
My blue is mounted onto apricot & punched w/ the scallop punch, or maybe a cheek punch!! LOL I used SU Stars & Swirls for the gown, Blush Blossom reinker & aquapainter for the skin tones & crayons for the hair. After coloring w/ brown & dandilion I rubbed it w/ a tissue.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
Edit by me (7/6): I NEVER thought I'd get a blue box over my card. I hope it doesn't offend anyone. Here is the card that was my inspiration - w/ no blue box either!! Bad Coverage by Brat Cards at Splitcoaststampers

Bwahahaha! You can watch you 'view count' go up now that you've been given a 'little blue box' to hide your poor patient's behind... It's actually quite fitting since "Not Safe For Work" should be embroidered on all hospital gowns...for the sake of the staff who work there! Everybody's gonna want a peek at your card now! Your image is sadly too close to the truth when it comes to hospital gowns! And yes, this bow is FAR nicer than any I've seen on a medical gown... And you even managed to punch the corners so Kookzi won't be sendin' you to Time Out...

This is super funny and sure to bring a smile! After the warning label, I was super scared to look at it and then I busted out laughing. Great card!

How FUN, FUN, FUNNY!! Bugzi, this is just great. Don't worry about the "blue box." I don't find this offensive at all--just hilarious--and I'm pretty sure most other SCSers will feel the same way. I love your swirly gown with the pretty bow

OMG, Bugzi, you got blue boxed on this one!! Why didn't Brat get blue boxed on hers???? What a surprise when I opened this up and saw that image!! And, how PERFECT for your friend. You couldn't have done better. I'm still laughing at this one!! That bow and your b/g stamping just put this one over the top; or, should I say below the "bottom"!!! LOL!!

OMG, this is hysterical, Karen! Leave it to Stef to come up with such a comical image. By the way, I've seen worse cards; I can't believe you got the blue box either.
