My youngest son has been quite sick for going on his second week. I thought I'd make a fun card to get a little smile and give some encouragement to get well. I've wanted to finish off an OLD Alphabet Challenge Round with letter Z = Zany, so I purposeful sought out a zany, quirky digital image to color with my Copics. I found the perfect image to make a fun card and to fulfill zany all rolled into one!
With my image in mind, I went in search of SCS challenges that would work with my card possibility and found 14 shown below:
1) AOCC22 - All Occasions Card Challenge/ January 2022. This is a much needed get well card in January.
2) USEIT2022 - Use It Challenge/ January 2022. An ongoing/ annual challenge that requires you to use OLD/ DUSTY and long unused items and/or OLD/NEW items purchased, never used, and seemingly forgotten! OLD item: 2012-2014 DSP paper stack. My OLD/NEW: my little turtle digital image...had him for a while...first time I've inked him up!
3) MIX461 - Mix-ability Challenge/ What Do You See - 11/26/21. Be inspired by the art in children's books by Eric Carle..."The Hungry Caterpillar." I've added a critter to my card and used bright and vibrant primary and secondary colors as seen in much of his artwork. Mediums: Copic markers; computer ink; Black journal pen; white gel pen.
4) S2S21APR - Stamp 2 Save (aka Stamp 2 Support One Another)/ April Showers - 4/8/21. I have included an umbrella on my card...though I think it is worse for the wear!!!
5) IC761 - Inspiration Challenge/ Color Shot - 7/4/20. Here is my inspiration Rainbow Satin Pack. My card depicts bold and vibrant primary & secondary colors.
6) WT796 - Ways to Use It Challenge/ Unused Stamp (or digital image) - 6/11/20.
7) FS683 - Featured Stamper/ PeonySnail (aka Faith) - 3/8/20. I chose this tortoise get well card for inspiration: Tortoise Troubles! I kept the get well theme and image idea, but changed my layout, image, color from muted browns and greens to vibrant primary/secondary colors and colored with Copics.
9) ABC11Z26 - Alphabet Challenge - Round 11/ Letter Z - Zany - 8/28/19. My turtle is totally zany!
10) MMTPT576 - Teapot Challenge/ Rain, Hail or Shine - 8/6/19. Challenge: umbrella theme. My umbrella is broken, but hey, its an umbrella and it's part of the humor of the card! I'm late to the party, so this card goes to my youngest son, who has been sick for over a week!
11) F4A493 - Free for All Challenge/ Who'll Stop the Rain - 8/2/19. My card depicts sickness and a whole boat load of stuff falling on the turtles head. My song is: BJ Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."
12) DDSKETCH0419 - Fan Club Monthly Themes--April 2019/ Sprinkles & Sprouts - 4/15/19. This is a get well card for my son that depicts the turtle in a rain shower with a broken umbrella. The card is for the Sketch challenge. I have used the elements in the sketch, plus added a digital image to the white space and put a frame around the entire scene.
13) CC730 - Color Challenge/ Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay - 3/12/19. Dessert/Feathers: NO dessert.
14) CAS522 - Clean & Simple Challenge/ Under the Weather - 2/25/19.
