This is exactly how I feel in the morning...'cept I don't look as good as this little cutie! I saw a sketch over on Katarina's blog that inspired this card. I Love her work! Sigh~ when I grow up I want to create like her!
So here we have GrumpaBella from Stamping Bella. Since this is a scheduled post and I'm posting from work, I can't remember who makes this sentiment. I picked it up years ago at either Michaels or AC Moore. I stamped her onto cream cardstock with Memento black and colored her with Copic markers. I then sponged the image and sentiment ovals with Tim Holtz Distress inks. The patterned paper is from DCWV, I think it's called the Luxury Stack. I dyed the seam binding with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. And the pearl swirl is from a larger Prima swirl, I just cut a portion of it. I don't think you can tell in the photo, but I added some sparkle with my clear Spika glitter pen to the coffee cup, steam and her slippers. It's so sweet irl. Did you ever make something that you just couldn't bear to part with? Me thinks this is one of them for me....
