Sunday Cartoons & The Way They Feel + Giveaway

I'm back! Sorry for two posts today - it's just how the calendar goes sometimes! But you'll be glad I'm back because there are some sweet, summery cards ahead with the new Hero Kit.

But this first card is with the dog bundle and the sweet park background because this image yanked me straight back to childhood, and reading the Sunday funnies. The Sunday funnies were magical because they were in color - and after reading them, I had hours of fun using Silly Putty on them.

Something about this style of image just recalls that great comic art that has been a type of art that has been available to the masses and all classes for centuries. They are about as old as this country, since we just celebrated a birthday. Isn't that crazy?

The sneak peek from yesterday is from the main kit - I love the little background stamp! The technique is a secret until Dare to Get Dirty - join us!


The last card is one of those ideas that comes in half sleep - I will be expanding on the idea soon - but I realized that I ALWAYS do these silhouette dies in black or white, so why not add color? And because the image is so very organic and natural, I thought I'd do crisp stripes as contrast. The tree die is from the main kit
