Today
while my direwolf, Lycan, and I were scouting the Forbidden Forest we
were suddenly caught in a terrible storm. The clouds gathered at an
alarmingly rate, turning the sky a menacing dark gray. Just as I was
turning around to start back towards the Guild Hall, thunder clapped and
the heavens opened up, dumping sheets of rain upon us. Lycan raced off
in the opposite direction of the Guild Hall. Slightly irritated at his
horrible sense of direction, I took off after him. I was surprised to
find him at the mouth of a large cave - the perfect shelter from the
rain. Beside him, holding a rather broken looking umbrella
stood a strange looking fellow. Without saying anything, he motioned us
into the cave where I was delighted to find a campfire burning.
I
made this ATC by stamping the Stampotique “Relaxin” image. I then
stamped the clouds using a cheapo stamp from the Michael’s $1 bin. I
used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks to
add some blue to the card. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to
cut the little corner pieces. I then dug into my stash and found those
letter stickers that have been sitting in the same drawer for many
moons.
This ATC will rain down into the following challenges:
The
mute stranger let us warm by the fire and dry off while we waited for
the storm to pass. Once the sun started peeking through the clouds,
Lycan and I took our leave. As we left back towards the Guild Hall, the white-faced fellow stood in the cave
beside the dying fire and slowly faded from view.
