Kathy's Old Geezer


Kathy always writes entertaining descriptions for her cards and projects, and this month she has kindly allowed me to use her own words to describe this fabulous card! Enjoy.


I had a box of decorated card fronts and envelopes in my stash and this one reminded me of an ebbing ocean scene. So I made it into that! I used just the front of the card, cutting it at the fold, and tearing it along the lower “foamy ocean edge.” I also tore fluffy clouds from scraps of white cardstock, and adhered them onto cloudy sky patterned paper to create the horizon. A little work with a light grey marker and my trusty white gel pen adds ripples to the water around the old geezer! (Oh, and I colored his nose with white and pale aqua to make is looks like he is wearing “Blue Lizard” sunscreen… in honor of all my Australian friends!)

  1. Beccy, I have a feeling I'm going to inspire lots of giggles and guffaws to those who receive cards made with this fun set. The characters are so fun and I always love that you name them. Ralph is the perfect name for this guy. (And, I forgot to mention something in the description I gave you. If you look closely, you’ll notice that Ralph's belly is a bit sunburned. I guess he forgot to cover it with sunscreen? Heh heh!)
