I love this quirky and fun image that just makes me smile. It's called the Oddball Turtle from Stamping Bella and I used this to make a fun birthday card for another slowpoke like myself. I stenciled the background with a GMD bricked stencil on some tan cardstock with a darker brown ink. I stamped the turtle and colored it with Copics, adding a die-cut stitched frame in matching green designer paper. I split the sentiment and backed each piece with matching cardstock and called this one done. At my age, this is how I feel most days LOL

Ha ha - what a fun card. Great Coptic colouring and I love the frame & stencilling xxx
After a full day of running as a hamster on wheel, your card make me smile, then laugh and puts me in the right mood!! Thanks so much! :) How fun and sage card!! LOVE that turtle, her (his?) face and your amazing colouring! Great clean design, the choice of the stencilled background and the patterned frame are so appropriate to match the turtle! And the sentiment split in half drags the eyes so well.
With my DT hat I say Thank You so much for sharing with us at We Love Stamping your beautiful card full of wisdom and fun! So appreciated!
Biggest hugs dear friend, I wish you a lot of wonderful Spring days ahead! Here today there are rain, wind and cold, temperatures fell down in a few hours and now we need again winter clothing. ...
I have never seen this fun sediment and love it, too, Carol! It is so true at this age and a positive way to think about it! I love the coloring, stitched frame and great stencil border! Pokey Hugs, Darnell
Oh yes, forward is GOOD. That's a wonderful turtle image and one I've not seen before, great fun and certainly made me smile 😊
Your Oddball Turtle card is absolutely delightful! The stenciled brick background adds a nice touch, and the coloring on the turtle is fantastic. It's clear that a lot of love and creativity went into this fun birthday card. And your sentiment about feeling like a slowpoke most days is both relatable and charming!

What a great fun card. Wonderful colouring and a fab sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at We Love Stamping.
This is an adorable image...and you colored it so beautifully!
This card fits how it has felt for some time now. When we are young, speed is everything. When we are middle aged speed is OK but who cares. When we get old we wish things would slow down more. Love this card.
Love, Hugs and Blessings
Sorry I'm behind on commenting! Love all your cards that I'm viewing! This one is so cute with the fun turtle and perfect sentiments!
This is so cute!! If I had this little turtle, I think I would want to use him all the time! Great sentiment, too. Thanks for playing with Critter Crazy Challenge.
