5/9/2018: Mothers Day card for story time

Yes, it is Chick-fil-A Virginia Beach Blvd Story Time again! I’ve got two or three adorable books to read, and planning on milk and cookies, like the previous times, and drew this card for the kids to work on. I’m thinking we could use the card on Fathers Day or Grandparents Day, too, if we want to. The kids can color the front,

write their name inside,

and add flower stickers inside the card on the left, or on the envelope (or both)

…plus the child can ‘sticky’ in a coupon for a nice free frosted beverage or iced coffee, for mommy (or whomever they choose to honor this Mothers Day).

This is a prototype… the copies will have no wrinkles or indentations, and come with an envelope. 🙂 Hopefully the kids will have fun! (I did)

 

Day 170 (Mon 6/19) Inky Cow sketch

I tried out some Noodler’s Heart of Darkness ink in a fountain pen they include with the bottle on a sort of zentangle-y cow sketch. I ordered it because I thought it was waterproof, or mostly waterproof, and was going to add color… but you can see what happened when I touched water to it. I’ll try letting some dry overnight and see if it still reacts the same way. I like the result, but I wanted a fountain pen I could use for my watercolor sketches. Oh well, back to Staedtler and uniball. They are great, so it’s all good. I just wanted to play around with line width a bit.
