I knew I had taken a break from card-making and posting, but I had no IDEA it's been over 2 weeks!
Last post I said I was puttering, and I guess I continued in that mode. A few things have been going on, and well, life happens!
One of my creative days involved a spurt of watching videos and coloring a bunch of images with Inktense pencils. My favorites were these adorable mice from MFT (Harvest Mice). I used an aqua brush to spread the color and added a few layers of color. While it's still not the medium I'm most comfortable with, I did get better with practice.
I learned that keeping the aqua brush just barely damp worked best. The background areas of ground and sky were sponged with Distress Oxide Inks.
The sentiment is one of such nostalgia for me because it's from a song my Mom used to sing to us. If you do a search for it, it's good for a chuckle. Makes me feel really old, lol. But then Mom lived to be 96 and never thought she was old. So sing a chorus for her!
I hope I will get back into some stamping soon. Thanks for visiting today!
Be yourself

I get this song stuck in my head sometimes -- doodle oodle oodle... and so on. I had sheet music for it that I used on a card once. Sweet that your mom sang it to you. I have some memories like that, too, and now I sing one of her songs to the dogs. It's funny how my particular song choice (Mighty Lak' a Rose) seems to relax them at sleepy nap time. I digress... I actually came here to take a closer look at your card which I think is so adorable. Cutest little critters all busy with the harvest. You've had better luck with watercolor pencils than I ever had. Intense pencils are a better quality, but it takes skill. You've done a great job with them! Love your orange envelope, too!
