Merry Monday 141:



Good morning all!   I do hope you enjoyed your weekend.  I have been rather sore lately.  I am thankful that it's been a while since my shoulders have been bothering me, so I guess I am due =)

With that being said, I have been stubborn and I am trying to ignore the pain by crafting.  Is it working?  No.  Is it making my shoulders worse?  Yes.  But crafting helps the soul and I am up for that!!


This week at Merry Monday, Katie has chosen the theme of using CRITTERS on your card.


I knew straight away which critter I was going to use and went from there (of course it's from Reverse Confetti - you know, the store I am always raving about).

I started with Reverse Confetti Quirky Cuties Marley Moose (and sentiment too! in Onyx Black VersaFine).  I coloured Marley with Prismacolor Premier pencils and blended with Speedball Mona Lisa Oderless Paint Thinner (100% mineral spirits).

 I added Reverse Confetti Triple CheviesTag Me, Office Edges, and Circle 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts using Carta Bella Bundled Up paper collection.   I finished the card off with some stitching, American Crafts twine, and Doodlebug and MME enamel dots.

I created this card for the following challenges:

Reverse Confetti January SFYYT


Simon Says - anything NEW (lots of new stash on this one!)
