I made this card last night--- must have had a premonition that Sharon was going to host a Senior Citizen Challenge!
I colored this last night and I reached for it because it summed up my morning... When my car would not start, because my DH (insert your choice of word for D) left my lights on. My brother-in-law came and jumped off my car, Thank you Michael! Oh yeah -- my jumper cables, where were they, of course in the DH's car. I did get to work and all is well with my car, except for the fact that I have to put some code in to my radio for it to work again... hmmm... where would I put a secret code??? Got me. So the hunt is on for that. Anyway, I gave the DH one day of grief and he is on laundry duty tonight, but all is well with me and the DH now, except for the radio. So that was the inspiration behind my image choice. I colored Maude with Copics. I added some little pearl buttons to help dress her frumpy robe up a bit and some soft little bows to contrast with the image. The blue background I ran through a Cuttlebug folder and while the paper was still in the folder I sanded it, that way the ridges were supported by the folder and it sanded only the raised portion -- a good tip from my pal Robin. That about sums it up.
