Gotta Go to OSC

I'd hoped to get this posted earlier, but the day flew by. I'm hosting the challenge over at One Stop Crafts this week and offered a photo inspiration challenge. I created several cards and will post one each day. Today I'll feature my Gotta Go Girl. Stop by every day this week to see the details of the other cards pictured.

Photo Inspirations

One Stop Crafts Challenge #96
There are 2 photos in my challenge, and for this card I focused on the caterpillar image.

My mom was a Kindergarten teacher and I'd help her scour the ditches near our home every fall for these striped beauties. She would use them as a science lesson and taught the kids about their miraculous transformation into Monarch butterflies. Even after she retired, she continued teaching the lesson. She spent her last few weeks in a nursing home and I was blessed to find a caterpillar to bring in. She taught the story to all the staff members during her stay. The anniversary of her passing is in a week, so I chose my challenge photos to honor her. For this card, I picked up the colors of the caterpillar and also a children's book (detailed further down)

Image reminded me of the children’s book Gotta Go! Gotta Go! by Sam Swope. I thought it would also lend to a clever sentiment to match the image.

My Creation

I made this card for a co-worker. She's a college student and helps us out during her breaks. She's such an asset to the team we really miss her contributions to the team.

Image Detail

I colored the image with Copics and added Stickles for a bit of sparkle.
