Whew, didn't think I was going to make it today. Had the privilege of watching little Cooper today. Even tho he took a couple of naps, I had to take naps too! hehe Not as young as I use to be.
I was stenciling lots of colorful flowers of the same kind on some white card stock when I realized there was some "extra" paper stuck in the middle. I pulled it off after I had enough flowers and low and behold if Curt's mug wasn't front and center! How does he do it? Always showing up on my cards somehow someway. Crazy lovable cow.....details....
Okay, I drew Curt's mug first then masked it. I just forgot I had done this with being distracted by little Cooper.
Used a stencil for the flowers. After the paint dried, I added the doodle lines. Since I had found this box of 30 some gel pens for only $10 at Staples, I decided to go over the flowers with a colorful gel pen.
Layered my panel with black cs then put it on a pink card. Done.
I hope Curt and I have brought enough color to the party today! hehe.......TFL :0)
Hi Sis!
Just a note: I seem to have a hard time with what to put on the inside of the card, so my cards tend to go out late. Sorry about that.

Tee hee, lucky you had a Curt mask handy so he could pop out from those flowers and wish Evelyn a happy birthday.
LOL on the you needing a nap too - I was so there when I used to mind my best friend's little daughter.

How I missed Curt while being off for my knee replacement. He's brightened my day so I'm sure her will also brighten Evelyn's birthday. Really cute!
What a good buy from Staples!

So bright cheerful and full of COLOR! I LOVE the look of SURPRISE on Curts face or is it Peek-A-Boo? We seem to be babysitting a lot these days and I can relate to being tired and needing a nap!
