I was instantly amused by the idea of vacuuming the tops of the cabinets. I just finished cleaning the tops of my tall bedroom cabinet by hand, and now I realize I could have saved myself a workout with the vacuum. I will file that under lessons learned for next time.
This funny Impression Obsession image of the lady staring down her vacuum was perfect for my inspiration. I stamped her on white cardstock and colored her with Copics, then spotted an animal print in the stack of papers I am determined to use up this year. That print felt too perfect to ignore, so I added a matching animal print pattern to her coat to tie everything together.
I layered the image and the sentiment on red cardstock, tucking the sentiment under the panel for a playful look. To finish the card, I placed everything on the bold animal print designer paper with a blue mat and added a few red gems to echo the red in the image and the sentiment banner.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.

Fabulous card, Lisa. What a brilliant image! Catching up with your posts that I’ve missed. They haven’t been coming up on my Reading List, which seems to be problem with Blogger at moment for quite a few people.

ReplyDeleteOh this is such a fun card Lisa, I love her expression, haha, really made me smile. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat fun card and image, love how you co-ordinated her coat to the b, paper. TBH I think it would be more awkward to clean the tops with the hoover -says she who has been putting off cleaning the bathroom cabinet for two weeks now!
