So cool, calm and collected...

Oh my, winter really hit with a bang around here yesterday....literally!  We had some nasty blowing snow, making for poor driving conditions, resulting in an 70 vehicle pile up on a major highway nearby.  This in turn, created major havoc on alternate routes....one of which was my road!  It was jam packed with stop and go traffic for hours and hours...and they were the lucky ones!  Drive safely everyone, and be sure to look out for that other guy!


So now, how about a bit of fantasy with this image..Caterpillar..from Just Inklined.  It's part of their Wonderland Collection, and doesn't he look so laid back and comfortable with nary a care in the world!

I've again coloured with copics, then cut and matted the image with the Spellbinders Labels Sixteen die.   The purchased card blank was pre-embossed, and I've sponged it over lightly with distress ink.  Some paper candi and a new timepiece brad for embellishment....keeping it simple for another masculine card.  The sentiment is a stamp from Stampotique, perfect for the occasion.


Now for a few challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - #253 Out of this World
Penny's Challenges - #111 Embossing
Dies to Die For - Anything Goes
Allsorts Challenge - #191 Masculine
