The CCEE Stampers are back from their holiday respite and raring to go with Frances' first challenge of 2012! She challenged the team to make a card using one of the Grimm's Fairy Tales as our inspiration.
I chose the fairy tale of The Fisherman and His Wife and got the idea to merge two of the Rubbernecker Old Characters images for my design. Meet cantankerous Ralph and Ethel. They've been married for a very looooooooooong time and have a tendency to get on each other's last nerve. Here's Ethel trying to tell Ralph how to fish.
I colored them with Copic markers, cut them out, and arranged Ethel slightly behind her husband Ralph the Fisherman.
I know of a couple in real life who love each other very much but are kind of like Ralph and Ethel. They'll get a kick out of this card for their anniversary.
Be sure to swing by our CCEE Stampers' blog to see what the rest of the team designed for this challenge. Maybe you'd like to play along with us, too!
Haha.. my sentiments exactly. That is so cute Charlene. I hope you had a fabulous holiday season. May 2012 be even better.
