My easel card is for the Bugaboo and Delightful Inspirations challenges. The bear image is from Delightful Inspirations. I used a Trina Clark flowers and pumpkin image. I used watercolor pencils and copic markers, along with some glitter pens. I did a lot of sewing and added buttons. Will add sentiment later....perhaps "Thank You Sew Much!
Some people questioned my sanity and if I really used a sledge hammer. Yup, you just wouldn't believe the big brads and how impossible they were to press. The hammer gave me instant results. I also have a large rubber mallet for stained glass, but that didn't work. I now keep the sledge hammer under my work desk and if my husband needs it, well, he can come and get it.

As I sat outside in my lawn chair under the shade tree, drinking my Carolina Sweet Tea, and watching my dear husband sweat and mow the grass, I pondered as to what svg I should create. My main purpose to being outside of course, was to provide my DH a cold glass of water, and tell him what a wonderful job he was doing, but the bugs were bothering me, so I headed inside. The next things I saw flying were bad words, not grass....for the lawn mower pooped out! Ahhh...let's make a lawn mower svg! All of this is true, except I mow the grass whenever possible since I'm now retired and perhaps it's helping me burn a few calories.

Hi, Cely! Thank you so much for your files. I just wanted to tell you about a new tool made by WeRMemory that opens up a brad and then flattens them real easily with one hand. I saw it yesterday (and bought it!) on HSN. I can't wait to get it. I'm tired of fighting with and shedding blood when using brads. Check that tool out on HSN.com. Again thank you for sharing your creative work!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, I love the background pumpkin image you paired with the bear. Thanks for playing along with us at Delightful Inspiration this week.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful card Cely! I love how you colored this image and added that background. It's fantastic! You always find the perfect combination of colors and papers to complement your card and this one is no exception. Great job again Cely. Thanks again for playing along with the Catch the Bug Challenge. It really is a pleasure to come to your blog and see your creations.
