Mondays Suck


Happy Monday to you! I am blessed to have generous, thoughtful friends who send me stamped images and die cuts to make cards with, and the stamped image and sentiments for this card came from one of those dear friends. (Thank you again) I have no idea who makes them, but I thought they were hilarious and just perfect to post on a Monday Morning.
I used snippets of green and blue designer papers that I've had for years and colored the image with Copics to match the papers.  The main image was cut with a stitched square and I placed a snippet of matching blue card behind it. I found some tiny white stars left over from previous die cuts and added them to the coffee cup putting an itty bitty blue gem in the center star. I finished the card with some black Nuvo Drops.


 Here's the inside sentiment which I found as funny as the one on the outside.

This might depict just how I feel about rainy day Mondays LOL

I will share this card with the following challenges:

Make My Monday Challenge #218 - use your patterned paper


It's been a while since I've seen the sunshine with all of this rainy, dreary dismal weather lately, so I figured I might as well laugh about it until the sun finds it's way back to us again. Thanks for stopping by and have a good Monday whatever you do. Keep smiling 😊
