Cats, Gnomes And Sunflowers

Hello again and welcome. Second post today.  I'd like to share another card I made last night while trying to focus on something other than the migraine which has been a doozy. It took several hours just to color since my eyes and brain didn't want to cooperate.  The image is another digital from Impression Obsession I've had for a month and hadn't used yet (more never before used schtuff NBUS).  It's from the Gary Robertson line called Gnome On Bench H1897-DG and is currently free.  If you don't like working with digital stamps, you can purchase it here.  This image reminds me so much of the flower farms near the Monterey coastline and the raisin farms here in California since the end of each row of grapevines has sunflowers planted.

After printing it off, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before edging the image by applying memento tuxedo black ink directly to the edges then layered.  I used very few embellishments for my card.  I then tied some tan thread from my Stampin Up demo days (had this for years and lost it; not anymore).  I then added some vintage silver diamond brads and a milk bucket charm I had forgotten I had.  The final touch was adding a little bit of a 3D glaze pen to the butterfly and white gel pen for the gnomes "eye sparkle".
