Hello there Joy Clair friends! It's Kerry here and I'm back to share another cutie-patootie card! Have you seen the new "Feeling Slothy" stamp set? It's an adorable set that includes several sloths with precariously perched coffee mugs. I suppose these sloths move exxxtrraaa slowly so they don't spill the juice of the Gods right? I think so! Hee hee. Anyway, these careful critters are too cute and I selected this one trying to balance his coffee on his bum. It's the perfect resting spot when you're lounging on a tree branch!
The set comes with an assortment of punny sentiments. I selected the cute "Hang in there" to remind myself during difficult times, to just keep trucking along. Things will get better.
I colored the slothy image with Copic markers and then added a few bits of white Gel pen for shadow. I also diecut a frame (from The Cat's Pajamas) out of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment in the oval "leftovers" and added a few leaf images (also included in the set). Next, I distressed this frame using some light gray ink to give it a more matching "grayness" to the printed paper. Oh, by the way, if you're wondering where the paper is from, it's from my crafty hoard of 6x6 paper pads. This one in particular comes from the Christmas (yep!) set called "Vintage Christmas" by My Minds Eye. I love their papers...even if they are retired!
To finish off my card, I added a little green ribbon and some buttons...You know how I love these fun embellishments! Thanks for popping over today! I hope you were inspired by my creation today and were also inspired by the sentiment...Just keep going! :)
