back on your feet
Good Morning!
I’ve had a small break from crafting as a few things were getting to me, who knew I would upset people by giving things away for free? Maybe I’m stepping on some toes or something. Well, it never hurts to recharge the ol’ batteries but now I’ve got to get those creative juices flowing again.
A family member had a Knee Op last week so I wanted to wish them well and this seemed so appropriate. I drew this little tortoise/turtle and matching sentiment which I used on my card and also made a circle combining both the image and sentiment to give you a choice of how to use it. I think it would look really cool if the circle was printed off twice and the outside sentiment was cut out and popped up on 3D foam pads as a raised frame similar to how I did in this post.
I coloured my tortoise/turtle with Copics adding little spots in a darker colour then added some shine with a Sakura glaze pen to his little eye, toe nails and shell and sponged the background with distress inks. My layout came from this weeks Decontructing Jen sketch and my colours came from The Play Date Cafe. Mint and Coral aren’t colours I would ordinarily think to use together but I think it actually works, this is why I am really enjoying taking part in challenges as it forces me to take more risks and try things I wouldn’t have on my own.
Here are your digis:

Thank you – just what I needed for a church member who just had his knee replaced. ; )
Your card is so adorable–thatnks for these great digis!
Oh wow!! love it, thank you so much can’t wait to use him x
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! ALL your files are great and really appreciate all you do for us! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much!! These are just great, as are all your images. Thank you for sharing them with us. It is very generous of you.
Thank you so much. I have wanted to try a digi stamp, but was always worried that it would be hard, you have made this easy peasy. I love your design, and it will perfect for my coworker who fell and tore the ligaments in both of his knees. Also, the design of your card is perfect!
Hi Bird, thanks so much for your truly inspirational digis and freebies. Don’t know who you have “upset” by giving away free stuff, but trust me, they are not worth worrying about. Most of us are truly grateful for your input in our crafting worlds!!! Take care….Isabelle
OMG this little tortoise/turtle is just to stinking cute! I love your adorable card. Thanks for the digis!
Glad you are back and hopefully feeling better. You just can’t please some people. It’s yours to give so please yourself and don’t worry about ‘them’.
Blessings Bernie
Love and appreciate your sharing this cute digi! I love making get well cards and this will be great! I am wondering how I might print the sentiment with a colored background like it shows on your card.
Thank you,

Wow, so sad to hear someone made you feel bad about the drawing Bird. Thank you for the cute images they are so greatly appreciated. I love how your card turned out too.
Hi Bird!
Thank you as usual for your generosity! I love this little guy and your card is GORJUSSS!! It is sure to lift the spirits of your family member.
I am so sorry to hear that someone got “upset” with you. It is sad that people don’t like for others to spread joy especially during these times. I am sure that Diane is appreciative of the gift and I am happy to have had the opportunity to enter the drawing. {{HUGS}} Candy
What a great card. I love the turtle. Thank you.
Hello Bird! I have encountered exactly the same reaction from some folks that seemingly are somehow threatened when you give something away – somehow if they are selling and you are giving there is something wrong with you! I finally had to just say – oh well, your problem – NOT mine, and get on with it. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing – I just love everything that you create! ~chris
Bird, I LOVE your digi freebies and this turtle is definitely going on my ‘to do’ list. Thank you for all your generosity and inspiration – it makes you stands out in life.
Hugs, Buttons x
Love your card and that image is just great. Thanks for your generosity, and glad you are back feeling better. Just ignore all the “other” folks.
Thank you for these cute images.
I love all of your stuff and I hope like Hell that others leave you alone.There’s always some one out there who has to be mean.Please don’t let them sour you on what you do,because I’m sure there are tons of us out there love your work and your generosity.
Also love the turtle and sentiment!They will make my life a lot easier.You’ve done all the work,LOL THANKS SO MUCH
Adorable digis. I can’t wait to use these on some get well cards. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love it!
I want to thank you for sharing Your art, yes its yours to do what you want with it. I am sorry someone was giving you a hard time. I appreciate all that you do. I will admit I love crafting but I am no artist. I agree sometimes we all need to recharge, I am glad you are back.
Thanks so much this little guy is way to cute!!! I can’t wait to make a card with it.
I love it! Thank you so much :)
Hi Bird ~ Love the turtle, love the sentiment, and your card showcases them beautifully. I, too, would love to know how you got the sentiment on colored paper like you did. I think that people who are ‘upset’ often are envious. Thanks for all you give … I am so appreciative of your generous spirit.
I am happy you are back and not the only one who appreciates your generousity. As others have said you should just ignore them… Thanks for the great images and sentiment!
lol Great digis! thanks so much!
THANK YOU! I am always looking for “Get Well” graphics. I love your concept of this one.
