"BACON" Down On The Farm


Hello and welcome.  Today at Catch The Bug we are going down on the farm.  My project today is featuring Bugaboo's hilarious image BACON in the sun.  Right now, as I type this, my corner of California was 110 degrees yesterday, only 95 today (hey cool down!) and dealing with smoke from the massive Creek Fire 30 min away among others.  Now today, we'll be lucky to get out of the 80's (thank you Creek Fire) with VERY unhealthy air quality.  Talk about weather whiplash.  This image totally sums up the last few days at my house.

After printing the image off onto Hammermill white at 3.5x5 inches and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass for the sky before stippling broken china around the edges.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered it onto scrap Stampin Up card stock then adding some brads.  I then stamped the card in dots using broken china ink before adding my layered image.  The only other embellishments were a velvet ribbon and Sakura 3D glaze pens highlighting parts of the image.  As an afterthought, I then stippled some broken china ink around the edges of the card.

  2. This reminds me of the summer we've been having in Texas. WAY too hot - but we're finally cooling down a little bit. LOVE your fun card and cute image. Thanks so much for joining us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!
