This one is for Father's Day for my garden loving step-dad to remind him if at all possible to relax under the fruits of his labour occasionally :)
I've used Always Bring a Smile stamp set from MFT designed by Stacey Yacula and coloured using my Prisma pencils. This is the second time I've coloured this, the first one I managed to ruin in spectacular fashion which involved an iron - yeah don't ask!
On my first attempt I had the sentiment running horizontal under the mushroom but I realised when stamping the second one it would look cool wrapped around the cap of the mushroom and hey presto... it worked :)
This image reminds me of the Cadbury's Caramel advert from years ago... I know he's not a bunny but just the whole feel has a lovely dream like state, something I relate to chocolate most days.

This is the perfect card for your gardening step-dad! I love this cute image and how it reminds us to unwind and relax, and that sentiment wrapped around the mushroom cap looks perfect! I associate chocolate with serenity too - especially when those Lindor truffle tv ads are shown!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute image. And super nice colored. I like the way you placed the sentiment. It is perfectly related with the image.
ReplyDeleteStay safe! Sonja
