So that we all don't go into some kind of with-drawl, MariLynn , with Mothermarks permission, has stepped up to the plate to keep us entertained. How sweet of you MariLynn for doing this!
Today, we are going on a hay ride! I remember these hay rides of long ago. What fun. As you can see, Fred here has already had way to much fun. He is it pooped! OR maybe he got into that "special" tea. They are calling it "apple cider" today. Who knows, but he is out............details....
Bottom up:
white card with itty bitty bg stamped in brushed corduroy.
Flower bg is a picture I took at one of my pools, printed it out and versa marked and clear ep the flowers.
Cut two squiggly ovals with coluzzle. Larger one sponged crushed curry and terra cotta.
Smaller one, stamped hay bail, colored with scattered straw, sponged ground with sandal, and sky with RR cloud stencil and sail boat blue.
On scrap cs stamped and clear ep wheels, colored with copics, cut out and popped up adding buttons.
I recently came upon Fred here. I had forgot all about him. I drew him over 22 years ago and used him on my announcements for the birth of my DS. So today, I redrew him and colored him with copics. Isn't he cute?
Well, thanks again MariLynn for hosting today. Cindy, hope all is well with you. We all miss you!
Oh yeah, used the easy bow maker for my bow here.........hope you like this. TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Remember Fred? I named him that to go with Ginger.

I love everything about this card - but especially the hand drawn image. Gosh you have a lot of talent.
Also the colors really grab my eye and make me smile. And I gotta say, that IS a perfect bow if I ever saw one!

I guess when you're as talented as you, you never throw anything you've drawn away. Who would if we could draw/color like you? This is perfectly amazing in the midst of all those flowers. does your creativity never end? Yikes, Each day I think I've seen it all, and here you come again. Fabu card, Ms. Russian Satellite commando. Brilliantly crafted.

You rocked this challenge. I love the "Hay" wagon. I am always amazed at your drawings. I can't believe you drew this so long ago. I am so glad that he has reappeared. Great job on this one Cathy..
