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!
