Good morning on a lovely spring Friday! We have another new challenge starting at QKR Stampede and our theme is always Anything Goes. I have a fun card today, which is not only a total fantasy but is a take off on the old Tortoise and Hare fairy tale. In this version, it takes a bit of bribery to keep the old turtle moving along. lol
The image is from QKR and is called "Bribery Goes Far." I did my best to make it look like springtime since yesterday was the first day of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. :-D
I used ProMarkers and water color pencils on the image, then cut it with a stitched die from Lawn Fawn. The blue background piece was cut with an Altenew die. I put everything onto a kraft card base and added the metal brads to the upper and lower corners.
I want to share with you a new technique I tried with the Altenew die. I prefer dies over stencils but that's mostly because I have so many dies and so few stencils. So I cut some very heavy CS with this particular Altenew die, then used the cut CS as a stencil to get perfectly aligned polka dots on a background piece. I need a bit more practice but I'll share the results with you in a few more days.
I printed the sentiment and cut it with the smallest Lawn Fawn die but I had to adjust the placement and cut twice to get the long rectangle shape out of a square die.

I used the colors from My Favorite Things
although my blue background is not quite dark enough
the rest of the colors are found in the image.

Looks like you're going to get no where fast, LOL! Your card reminds me of a photo my husband has of his son & daughter on their horse with a carrot on a stick. Seriously though, your card is colored delightfully.
Thanks for joining us at Double Trouble.

Nana, great card, love the background die cut against the kraft and what a great job on your coloring. Such a fun image and great mode of transportation. When I go to zoos now and see those very large tortoises I think I would like to ride on one because they a much lower to the ground than riding a horse if you fall off And like their slower pace...lol. Thanks for sharing with us Double Trouble and Brown Sugar.
Love it!! That sentiment with that adorable image makes me smile!!
That image is hilarious! Beautifully colored and card composition is great too.

Wonderfully humorous card, Connie! Your coloring is great and I see no mismatch with the blues - it all flows beautifully. Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble and Brown Sugar Challenges.
