Are You a Bad Influence?

I always tell people when they start talking about inappropriate things - I AM A LUTHERAN.

It works like ZERO percent of the time, but I try.

I am the person who even though I LOVE to break all innocuous rules like art rules, I will NEVER break a rule that involves the law or some terrible ethical line, etc. That's just how Virgos roll.

HOWEVER.

I can most definitely sway people to a very fuzzy bunny version of the dark side, like, for example, the side where we have to BUY ALL THE ART SUPPLIES.

Guilty as charged.

That's as exciting as my bad influence gets, people. Move along if you were expecting more.

So I absolutely went crazy over the sentiment for today's card.

First I stamped the raccoon from this set in Fadeout Ink, and used my favorite masking paper to mask him. Then I stamped the trees, masking the two front ones so the back ones looked farther away.

Then I watercolored everything with Daniel Smith Watercolor, making sure to leave the background trees farther back with a little less detail.

The sentiment is from this hilarious set. I stamped it in Nocturne.

The bottom line is, it doesn't really matter which one of us is the bad influence - we'll get there together.

I'm beyond honored to be guesting with My Favorite Things this month. The owner, Kim, is a dear friend and a great, soft-hearted, animal-loving human who has assembled a fantastic team of people who make the stamping world better.

Loveyameanitbye.

  8. I am definitely a very bad influence when it comes to crafting. I gotta find me a new crafting bud so we can badly influence each other. My previous crafting bud died and I miss her dearly and remember her daily.
    On a happier note, loved your card. And does your critter look just a little bit guilty?

  11. I enjoy your YouTube videos a lot. Watching all of them does get me into trouble. I always want to buy whatever is being shown. However I am also a rule follower. I'm also Lutheran.
