OK, so I wasn't going to have another post for today but I saw this image lying on my desk and had a sudden idea of how to use it. All that time last month when I was without a computer, or rather between computers, I spent some time with my rubber stamps (the ones which have been languishing in the storage drawers) and got into stamping and coloring them since I couldn't access any of the digis stored on flash drives. I didn't necessarily know how or where I was going to use the colored images but doing them kept me sane when I had couldn't play online.
Today, I made a Get Well card from one of those images I had colored, a cute House Mouse stamp. I know this wasn't intended for a "Get Well" sentiment but I think it works. I've seen my grandson look a bit like this when he hasn't tracked his carb count properly. :-D
I hope my friend Lynn, Creative Crafts by Lynn, has a chance to see this. I know she's going to love it since blue is her favorite color and she loves CAS designs and cute images. Are you smiling yet, Lynn? :-D
I used ProMarkers on the image and the papers are old. I think they're from DCWV's "Basics" stack. I added the stitching using gel pens. Everything was cut by hand. The bow is one of those I've had in my stash from the last time I made a batch of two dozen. This one may even have been in the stash from the batch before the last one but in any case, it's been a good 6 months. :-D

I knew I wanted to do a patchwork design of
polka dots and checks and went looking for a sketch to use.
I found this one at Sketch Saturday,
and I turned it sideways.
