Gus And The Calender WTF

Hello and welcome.  Today is Oldie But Goodie day over at Catch The Bug and I'm featuring a slim line card using one of my all time favorite Bugaboo Stamps called Gus Tidbits - WTF.  This image just cracks me up and is oh so appropriate after dealing with 2020 and the start of 2021.  

After combining the image, and saying, in MS Word then printing onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before blending some going grey ink around the edges of the image using some Picket Fence Studios blending brushes.  Once I was finished with the blending, I layered the image onto Stampin Up black and olive card stock.  For the card, I took white Neenah card stock and adhered some Basic Grey Motifica designer paper I had bought on clearance at Michael's several years ago and never used (NBUS) before blending old olive ink around the edges of the card then stamping a retired Stampin Up Sanded background stamp in brown ink.  I then took my old olive marker, ran it alongside the layered image before running a Tim Holtz distresser tool along the edges then added to the card.  I then took some dusty, yet never used (NBUS) Robins Nest fresh mowed grass dew drops and added them to the corners of the layered image as my "brads" and then added some to the bottom of the card.  My final embellishment was highlighting parts of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens, old olive marker with color spritzer tool and a black artist pen.
