Slow Ride Gnome


Good morning!

Well, it is here, at the moment.

This is the interior of the card I made. It is the perfect sentiment for how I am feeling today. 

It looks like spring but it's chilly... in Vermont. Isn't that how it's supposed to be in Vermont? It's supposed to get to 50 by noon. I have a list of things to do before that time, then it's dog bath time😐. 
But I digress. My last post was a quick project, this one not so much.

I spent some time coloring this KLM Digital Designs image. 
I love the idea of this little guy catching a ride on the back of a turtle.  I think I'm suffering from cabin fever.

The background is from a day of paper dying. I think another day of this activity is in the near future!
It was created using Distress Inks on watercolor paper. The image is colored with Copic markers. I used a Tim Holtz sticker booklet for the front sentiment. I cut the phrase apart and once in place on the card front,  outlined the words with a fine Multiliner pen.

As I look at this now I wish it was possible to recreate these dyed papers. I love this one. Sadly I have no idea what I used on it. It may have just been a mop-up of the spray tray from another project 🤔.

Confessions of a carefree crafter.
