Now if you trade out his hammer and drill for a broom and dustpan this would be me. LOL For some reason the spring cleaning bug has hit me in the fall. I have been doing some major de-cluttering of my house. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm almost fifty, but I'm ready for a streamlined, easy access, easy clean house. Wish me luck!
This guy is so much fun. He's the "Weekend Warrior" from Art Impressions Stamps. He had all those tools so I gave him some note and graph paper, and a ruler to help him along. It's kind of hard to see in the photo but I inked the hinges with silver and then distressed them a bit with some Vintage Photo Distress ink.
Copics Used:
skin E00, E11, E13

ReplyDeleteYour cards are always so amazing, Tracy! You really bring your characters to life with your fantastic coloring job. I really love this guy fussy cut and popped on top...give him great movement. And you always find the best goodies to match up with your designs. The screw heads and ruler are perfect. Love the notes, too. And all those layers are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI adore this card... the background papers with the arrows and the wood grain are perfect, the elements of the hinges, measuring tape, grid paper sketch & shopping list [with coffee rings!] are all perfectly thought out for this image! And then of course there is your marvelous coloring - well done Tracy!
