Dumb Questions

 Have you ever had one of those days (at work or at home) where the dumb questions just keep coming? Come on, admit it, lol! These cute, fluffy chickens from Sherry West Art just seemed to fit the bill for me. And they were LOTS of fun to color - outside the box - blue, pink, blue-green and purple! I used my copic markers to color them (Kit and Clowder coloring classes!), a fine-tip sharpie marker for their eyes and then a white gel pen for the dots on their eyes. The ground is also colored with copic markers, with a few sparse blades of grass here and there. Continuing with the "dumb questions" idea, I thought the ZOO and telephone (old school) diecuts (free from SVGcuts.com) went perfectly, too! And then, we can't do without our requisite cup of coffee! The background cardstock is purple with a honeycomb overlay diecut from colorful paper, Super-fun! Take a look at Sherry's Etsy page for some great images. If you can't find what you are looking for there, take a look on her blog shop, Happy Art For A Happy Heart, and/or PM her on her Facebook page, Sherry West Art Coloring and Crafts.

Let me know what some of the dumb questions you've received!

Have a FUN day!

A Flocker For Your Thoughts

 Sherry West Art has just outdone herself with these amazing Flockers! There are SO MANY things you could have them say, like 'Shake your tail feathers" or "A Flocker for your thoughts," LOL! I have even made up a little Ode to the Flicker Flockers.....I will keep you posted if I publish it, 😆

For this particular Flocker, I used the sentiment, "Save the drama for your mama!" I made it VERY colorful with my copic markers (you gotta take those lessons from Kit and Clowder!) and even added a bow around the tail feathers. I guess that makes her a "she?" Sherry's Etsy page is here, or you can contact her via PM on Facebook in order to purchase one of her great images! Here's a look at my card:

Let me know some of the sayings you might pair up with this image, I would LOVE to hear them!

Have a great day!

A Flocker and Gin

The Flockers are a fun, silly bunch of birds created by Sherry West. And, I gotta tell you, there are a limitless number of sayings you can pair with these birds! For my first Flocker, I used a saying one of my friends used in reference to rum (that's her husband's favorite liquor). But, the glass in this Flocker's hand is a martini glass, so I went with gin.....IF GIN CAN'T FIX IT, YOU'RE NOT USING ENOUGH! This particular image is not in Sherry's Etsy shop, but if you PM her through Sherry West Art Coloring and Crafts FB page, she can sell it to you via that route.

I colored this image with my copic markers. I can't say enough good things about the coloring classes from Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder - you really need to check them out! I used a white gel pen to make a few highlights, fussy cut the image and then used foam squares to pop it on the card. I made a speech bubble for my saying and used foam squares for it, too. Using the background paper, I cut a couple of small martini glasses on my Silhouette Cameo 4 and placed those around the Flocker's feet (that means he's on his third drink!). I diecut large hexagons to place on top of the background paper - using paper that matched my coloring.

As I said, there are a bunch of other Flockers, so check them out in Sherry's Etsy shop here!

A super-fun and easy card to make that, hopefully, gives you a chuckle for the day! And, please, drink responsibly!
