Wake Me for Breakfast

Good morning! I confess...I am not a morning person. Even though I get up and walk most mornings at 7:15, my mind doesn't start functioning for at least an hour. My sweet husband is the designated 'breakfast chef' now that we are both retired. He is definitely a morning person. If I happen not to get up to walk, I stay in bed until he tells me breakfast is ready.  So I totally relate to this card!

At first I created this just using the digital image of the Emu holding the sign from Limited Runs Digital stamps. Then I decided I wanted to use it for a couple of other challenges so I added some stamping to it. I really like the end-product!
I used a border punch along the bottom of the card base. I used another border punch to create the pink lace strip and backed the bottom piece with the same color. I added a strip of fabric lace as well. I wanted to give this 'masculine emu' a feminine look! Then I decided to add a tuft of lace to create a tutu. I stamped the flowers on the image and in the corner, masking the sign to add them. I added a few more flowers and a punched butterfly in the corner. I used a nestibilities die to cut out the image. All color was added with Copic markers. The sign reads, "Wake Me for Breakfast"
