Ouch!

Good Morning Blogland

`Here I am with all systems go and normality restored, which will last until the next school holidays when life will be up in the air again! De ja vu anyone?

Anyways, lets leave the griping behind and talk cards! I made this over the weekend to join in with Passion for Markers - had withdrawal symptoms last week as I ran out of time to enter.  So I had to get back on track this week!

Y'know, I only realised after colouring the majority of the image that the poor kid in this stamp is having his toe snapped at by a crab! Previous to this realisation I had the sentiment all lined up and then had a moment of panic, wondering if the sentiment actually suits the image. This resulted in me rummaging through all the sentiments I have, not finding anything I thought would be appropriate and going back to Plan A after all!  Does anyone else feel they don't have enough sentiments, or is it just me! 

Card for you:

Supplies Used:

Digital Stamp:

Polkadoodles - Rocco Surf's Up

coloured with my Copics

Rubber Stamp:

Whimsy Stamps - Simple Sentiment Strips

Dies:

Creative Expressions - Sue Noble Collection: Double Stitched Squares

Pretty Pink Posh - Scallop Borders 2

Whimsy Stamps - Smile 

Papers:

echo park - Splash

It was going to be a completely flat card (no 3d foam anywhere) but that just felt so odd for this type of card, in the end I 3d'd the sentiment by cutting and stacking it with random white card.  Much better!

And so I'm off now for a busy day of housework and exercise! Oh the joys!

Signing off,

See you soon,

Sarah
