Sign of the Times


This free, fun digital image by Elizabeth Dulemba recently arrived in my inbox and it sparked an idea to create a card. I printed it and colored it with Copics and made a few banners with some SU! Granny Apple Green designer paper, matting them all with black as I did with the main image. I added a few Taylored Expressions enamel dots just for fun. The card base is also Granny Apple Green. 


This hilarious sentiment came to me in an email list of jokes and I just had to print it out for the inside of this card. It's one way to laugh at the current situation which has so many of us feeling less-than-chipper, so I'm sending this out to a friend who will probably get a good chuckle over it.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Double D Banner challenge - with the following mood board

What a darling card and so appropriate for now. Made me giggle a bit too with the sentiment and the other one you added at the bottom. So thanks for the laughs! Take care and good luck on the social distancing from the refrigerator. I admit I am doing okay in that way so far.

Haha fabulous and what a great way to send a giggle in a card, I think its priceless atm. I like all the Apple green banners. I'd be much slimmer if I could social distance myself from the fridge containing chocolate... meh, where's the fun in that ;) x

Too dang funny. Very cute, my friend. The fridge, cabinet, and let's not forget the now non-existent Easter Candy! I am not talking about me, it is the super snacker I live with!
