Ever Had One Of Those Days?

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Happy Wednesday to you!

Are you having a good week so far? It's been pretty quiet at work lately. No real deadlines since most of the department heads are at a golf tournament. Nice!

I thought I'd show you a card I made while I was at Mary's house a few weeks back. Actually, it's the only card I finished there! Shame on me, but honestly, all I wanted to do that weekend was color and chat! Two things that don't require a whole lot of thinking! haha



Mary had sent me some images of Charlotte from Kraftie Kimmie Stamps a while back. I've been DYING to color them in, but haven't had a chance to until recently! These images a big and easy to color with my aquapainter brush and reinkers. I thought she's look great with red ringlets, so I used SU's Really Rust and some Close To Cocoa in the shadows. For her dress I used Almost Amethyst and Elegant Eggplant, and a combo of Old Olive and Always Artichoke. Sahara Sand was the color I used in the background and sponged around the edges. I thought I'd use up some of my old Eerie paper from Basic Grey, since I'm trying to be diligent and use up my old paper before buying anything new. Each panel was sponged with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Ink and machine stitched.

I couldn't resist adding some black sparkle paper and checkered ribbon! And do ya see that flower embellishment? I used Mary's Beautiful Blooms die template from PTI and I fell in love with it! PTI finally got it in stock again and I last week, I was finally able to buy my own set! Yay! Notice anything different about this photo compared to my usual ones?? Mary took the photo with her AWESOME camera and FLASHY lighting setup! Makes a world of difference doesn't it? I may have to invest in something similar one day....

Toodles!
