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
although my blue background is not quite dark enough
the rest of the colors are found in the image.
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.
