Helloooo!
Today is Tuesday and that means another Twinkling Tuesday challenge! Although, this week, Madelyn is taking a break and her little brother (and Jack's twin), Nicky, is our temporary twinkie. He just loves frogs! Anything to do with frogs. Hmmmm, then why do I have a turtle on my card you ask?! I have it on good authority that he loves turtles just as much! ;) (Thanks Mama Diedrich!)
I pulled this little guy out from a stash of images I acquired way back when I was doing some image swaps on SCS. I have no idea which company he's from either! I looked high and low on SCS and couldn't find any info on it. If anyone knows who makes him, definitely let me know, ok?
So to showcase this cute old man turtle, I used this week's Card Positioning System's sketch challenge, CPS113. I had so much fun using last week's sketch, I had to come back for another round. *grin* Old man turtle was colored up with SU inks and an aquapainter and then for a little bit extra, I added clear embossing powder to his shell and glasses. You can sort of see it in the detail photo below. Then I layered the image on some Georgia Pacific cs, then two layers of Bazzil cs. I was going to add the sentiment on a separate piece of cardstock with a button holding it down, but I decided not to because it would have detracted from the image. I pulled out some new paper from Crate Paper for the base and added the ribbon and that's it. Nothing too hard here. I just thought that old man turtle was too cute not focus on him!
The talented Cassie Larson is this week's featured Twinkie, so head on over to her blog and check out her great work! And if that's not enough, check out what the rest of the Twinkette have created for you this week!

Oh, this is soooo cute! I love that it's has clean lines and not a lot of embellishment. I did a card yesterday for a DT with minimal layers and loved it. I totally need to do this more often, cause it's so refreshing to see a "simple" card. Love this.
And thanks for the heads up on TGF CCC! I am sooooooo excited. I've been dying to get Never Ever, but have been trying to be good. Woohoo!
Hope your day is fabulous!
