Not too long ago, our friend B hit his head while working in his garage and managed to give himself a concussion. He's fine now, but he did have to miss a couple of days of work. And his birthday is coming up soon, so I made him a card yesterday.
Okay, fun llama and a punny greeting, but here's what I put on the inside...
I couldn't help it ; ) B joked with the hubs after hubs' brain surgery and really helped spread the Numbskull nickname at work (they work in the same building), much to hubs' dismay, so I think this is perfect. And as karmic payback, I was helping Ryan to tie his snow boots yesterday and when I stood up I whacked the back of my head on the kitchen counter. I, at least, did not concuss myself, but head trauma is apparently contagious.
Anyway, I used the new sketch from Atlantic Hearts:
I didn't make my card a slimline because I just don't like making slimline cards (I know, I'm a minority of one, but it's my craft room and I make the rules in there). The Creative Colour Challenges palette this week is pretty firmly in the Man Rainbow so I used that:
The Man Rainbow is gray, black, navy blue, and khaki; we'll let Boho Blue slide in there as Man Rainbow adjacent. And since I made a sassy llama card yesterday afternoon, in the evening I watched a sassy llama movie. You know which one I'm talking about, right?
Daphne is asking me very politely but insistently to go on a walk, and who am I to tell her no. So that's what we're going to do now. Cheers, y'all!
Supplies:
Stamps: Llama Drama from The Ink Road
Ink: Basic Gray, Boho Blue
Paper: Boho Blue, Basic Gray, Thick Basic White, Lily Pad Lane DSP Stack
Accessories: Stitched Rectangles dies, In Color gems, Wink of Stella on the sunglasses
