Now putting it on paper was a different story.
I realized the answer was literally staring me in the face: my new buddies, the Mama Elephant Three Amigos!!
I know! My handwriting is atrocious, but not a single one of my word stamps was small enough to fit on his sweet little sign. There are many, many phrase options in the set, but not the ones I wanted in this case - pun intended.
It did give me the opportunity to try out my new EK Tools journaling pens found at a craft shop. The kit included five pens in varying sizes so I'll be able to add fine doodling lines. Now if I could only add Copics to my entourage - my coloring here? I apologize.
Hope this turns out to be a great week for you all... thanks again for stopping over!
Sweet! And I do love that embossing.
ReplyDeleteCute and funny Michele! The basket weave background and the sentiment capture the cue perfectly. Thank you for sharing you card with us at CASology!
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele! I just love your basket case card!!! That embossing folder is just perfect and your sweet little cat is just adorable holding his heartfelt note. :)

HA!!! What a fun take on the cue word...basket case, love it!! Cute card Michelle and you handwriting looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteVery fun take on the cue word, and I love that you wrote your own sentiment. No need to apologize for your coloring, either. It is really great. Love that basket weave embossing as well as your darling critter. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping some people would go this route! :) Love that little amigo and your brilliant sentiment! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is a hoot, Michele. Basket case. That about describes me right now. I couldn't come up with anything for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm so glad someone 'went there' with this cue card! Love the subtle texture and the sweet image! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteYep, you pulled it off, Michele! A great "basket case" card...adorable, actually...and I adore the basket weave dry embossing on the card base, too! Thanks for playing along this week at CASology!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!
ReplyDeleteLove this interpretation Michele!
So cute, Michele! There is that awesome embossing folder. ;)
ReplyDeleteLook at you with that embossed background! Darling card with one simple image as a focal point.
ReplyDeleteAwww so very cute and creative !
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever card! Love the cute sentiment and the basketweave embossing! That new set is so adorable--definitely on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteIts so funny because all I could think of was basket-case but couldn't find a way to portray it that wouldn't offend anyone....This is done so well and with a very cute little sign-holder. Must be a winner for sure!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this Michele! Can't say anything more.
ReplyDeleteTee-hee, Michele ... another sweet little critter ... and what a brilliant take on basket! I didn't even get as far as ba! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWell, *palm smack on forehead*, I thought I'd commented on your brilliant take on 'case' here (yes, basket + case = what came to my mind, along with "I am a..."). Clever, funny and super cute! Copics in your hands...oh the possibilities! I'll send wishes that a Copic contest will pop up and that you'll the grand prize winner! Fabulous card, sweet 'cousin' of mine!
