Still Living on the Couch

9/9/2022

I am officially six days from my next doctor's appointment where I will be getting a walking boot and can finally get off this couch and say goodbye to a walker!  Meanwhile, life on the couch has been creatively productive and today I am all about posting a montage of what has kept me engaged.  

My grandson, Liam, turned one on August 30th and I wanted to make him a special card.  Having limited supplies to work with, I figured a sketch of my precious little guy could work both as a card and as something to display in his bedroom.  I had to defer to Pinterest for a clever sentiment that I hand lettered with a dip pen.

I absolutely love painting fall pumpkins (it needs splatters)!  This 5x7 size is also suitable for sticking in an inexpensive frame for a seasonal display.  Again, no sentiment stamps available here on the couch so I have forced myself to hand letter.

Had I access to my Distress inkpads, I'd have used them for this Studio Light stamped scene.  I first stamped the birch trees.  The pine trees were stamps as well, but I water colored the tree line and "stamped" them using The Misti!  I painted in additional darker pigment here and there to add more contrast.  The trees behind the birch trees were hand painted to fill in the area.  I'll stamp a sentiment once I can walk on my own to finish this Christmas card.  I love the hint of a setting sun.

For Liam's birthday, I knit him a beanie!  He was such a wiggle worm, we were lucky to get it on his head!  So glad it fit (he has a big noggin).
