Ah, stop your crying...

Nurses sure do put up with a LOT of crying and whining don't they? Whew! I don't know how they do it but aren't we blessed to have them? I made this card for Nurses Day last month and I just love this lady, don't you? Her name is Nurse Stella and she's from I Brake for Stamps. You've gotta check out their Humerous Seniors line! I colored the image with my Lyra's and then sponged around the outter edge with some chalk ink. I cut her out using my oval Nesties and mounted the matted image on some paper from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey collection. I applied some Crystal Effects to her glasses for a little added shine. I used one of Martha Stewart's border punches on a coordinating piece of paper from the same BG collection and finished it off with some ribbon I picked up at Michaels.

Supplies:

Rubber Stamp-I Brake for Stamps; Paper-Basic Grey Lime Rickey; Nestabilities; Lyra Colored Pencils; Punches-Martha Stewart & SU Horizontal Slot; Ribbon; Crystal Effects

Being Crotchety Is Fun!

Woo-hoo!! Look at her go! This stamp is from I Brake for Stamps. Her name is Cowgirl Aunt Mae. Is she a hoot or what? I stamped her onto SU Kraft CS and colored her with my Lyra pencils. I added a bit of sparkle to her belt buckle and glasses with my Gelly Roll metallic pen and used an Inkssentials white gel pen to add some interest to her hat and bandana. (You can click on the image for a closer look) I cut and embossed the image and the mat using both the Classic and Scalloped rectangle Nesties. The Basic Grey DP is from the Boxer collection and I found this denim paper at my LSS. All of which is mounted to the SU Kraft card base. I finished with a Martha Stewart border punch and some ribbon.
