Happy Thursday everyone! Today's post is good for the tummy...my husband recently had his second round of gum/mouth surgery, and all the poor man can eat is soups - so soup has been...and will be.. a staple around here for a while.
When I originally saw this Lockhart 'In Hot Water' stamp I was thinking of a thank you with their sentiment "I was in hot water and you were there"...but now I see it as a get well card just from our current situation in the house with soup!!
The tiny pewter spoon charms arrived for the store and that did me in - I had to play with this image...
Using Copic markers I had fun coloring all the veggies in the 
soup, and from what I can see there are potatoes (I made them baby Yukon Golds!), carrots, celery, onions (made 'em purple!) and... Mrs. Chicken! I used a BV31 Copic marker and my custom BV31c marker (a Copic blender pen with about a dozen drops of BV31 refill) to outline the pot and to make the chickie pop.
The Ranger white gel pen was used to highlight the pot - I accidentally colored this elongated stamped highlight in with a marker and the gel pen came to the rescue!
Nestabilities dies were used; Memory Box Licorice, Cranberry and Pea Pod folded card base (yellow is other side of the patterned paper).
The chicken patterned paper: with this layout you really don't see the cute chickens, so I added a big strip to the card inside, along with a Lockhart get well sentiment.
Hope you all are feeling good on this fine June day!!
