This weeks Challenge at the High Hopes Blog is to use scraps...and like everyone else...I have a quite a few. In fact I have a great deal of them...I think I should be doing these types of cards a little more often!! The sketch I used is this weeks Mojo Monday 92...what a great sketch for this image!....or for that matter ...any image...lol!
I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day!...this Fabulous High Hopes image is called "Sweet Dreams". Although I don't have this stamp....Crissy kindly shared the image with me..Thanks Crissy!!
This image so reminds me of my DH.....as he is always napping....lol...He works very hard...and the fella is just so tired when he gets home. Often after he gets home from work we go outside to have coffee on our swing....he leans over puts his head on my shoulder and catches a little nap...So Precious...lol.
On with the card...
I used copics for base only ...under the prismacolor pencils and h20's to color this image. *(be sure not to use copics over your prismacolor pencils or your copics tips will be ruined)*
Ink - memento, bashful blue for background...tutorial here.
Paper - Georgia pacific white, dcwv, kraft, and unknown scraps
Accessories - gold cord, button, jute, corrugater tool, stitching
We had a fabulous holiday!!...the cabin we rented and the weather was just perfect!! Although we had tons of fun!!...When I get back from a holiday....it always makes me appreciate our home a little more than usual...and so fun to see how the garden has jumped. The only damper on it all ....is all that darn, "get home laundry"...lol.....oh well....
Have a Wonderful Weekend Everyone!!....and Thank you so much for your Kind comments!!

Love this card and the story behind it! My hubby does the same thing when he gets home, gets a little dinner in his belly and then nodds off watching tv. :D Thanks for the comment about the dd at youth camp! I missed her, but she's back and so changed! I love that she loves the Lord and is totally on fire for Him. ~Cheri

Hi Ila!! So great to see your posting! I love what you did with the napping ant, but of course I always love what you do with my images!!
I love how you colored the leaf yellow! I hadn't seen anyone do that before! I also love the way the leafy is sticking out the top of the main image panel. Cute!
Oh, just a caution, when combining Copics and Prisma pencils, that you always use Copics first, and Prismas' last, otherwise, the solvent ink in the Copics breaks down the wax of the pencils and it gets picked up by the brush tip, causing it to get clogged eventually. And un-usable.
Ila, this is so cute! I love your distressing and stitching and your coloring is beautiful as always! I've missed seeing your cards. Hope everything is going well for you guys!
Ila, such a wonderful card! I used this image for my hubby's father's day card, too...perfect for such an occassion! I love the sketch and your coloring is always amazing. Big hugs :-)
