Ethel
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far! I’ve been working the last couple of days on some projects that need to get done, but I wanted to sneak in some fun too. Both my mother and my aunt are wanting some funny birthday cards. I can’t remember the last time I stamped anything haha funny, so I’m starting to do a little here and there. First off, I need to replenish the card stash, but I also need to get some creative juices flowing with funny stuff. This morning I finished up a project, went to Splitcoast to check the Inspiration Challenge, and wasn’t all that interested. I wanted to stamp, but not something I had to do. Anyhoo, here’s what I did!
Ethel was colored with Copic markers and there’s just a touch of Sakura Gelly Roll Glitter Pen on the pom pons on her shoes. I call her Ethel because she is from the Murray & Ethel unmounted sheet from Rubbernecker Stamps. Another one of those that I picked up at Orlando Stampfest. I could actually see Ethel in an old flannel robe, so I stamped the background with Flannel Plaid. The sentiment is also from this collection, and is raised on mounting tape. Another not heavily embellished, simple card for mailing.
Stamps: Murray & Ethel from Rubbernecker Stamps
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, SU Real Red and Basic Black
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Real Red
Accessories: SU Red and Black Gingham Ribbon, Copic Markers, Pilot Black Gel Pen, Mounting Tape, Sakura Gelly Roll Glitter Pen
By the way, the Rubbernecker stamp site is still under re-construction, but I understand that it will be open very soon.
I am a little embarrased that there is a stamp and sentiment of me–but it is a great card!!
OMG - I love this!! ROFLMBO! I really needed a good guffaw. Thanks!
Hilarious. Thanks for the great laugh!
Oh My Goodness, I have a friend that needs to have this bd card sent to her! I will have to purchase the stamps…pronto. Tfs
Bwahahahaha! This is great!!
That is hysterical!
I love this stamp.Oh is she funny stamp. what a great card to give.
LOL This is hilarious Sherry. I want this stamp so badly. Ugh! Rubberneck is still out on the road though since their website is down. Will have to keep checking it until it comes up again.
Oh, ain’t she purty! Love her pink slippers, too. They match her lovely curlers. This card is a hoot, Sherry! Perfect on the Flannel background!
Oh my goodness. I love all three of these babes but this sentiment is my favorite. That is exactly how I look every morning with the exception of you will never see another roller in my hair ever again. I love the sentiments. Your coloring is fabulous on all of them, Sherry. Maybe between you and Jeanne I can learn how to use my Copics.
I had to laugh. Love this!
