I can't believe I finally got some time to stamp this week! I gotta tell you - I am going to start scheduling it in my calendar! Anyway - You know how it is - The Create with Connie and Mary Challenge rolls around every week.......and I love to participate in their challenges ;) So - of course when I get the chance to stamp and I haven't doen their challenge yet I must start there, right? hehehe...... This week was no exception. They are hosting a color challenge ove rthere this week - check it out:
Wow - that looks like summer, right? Summery flowers........bright summery flowers......I bet you know where I am headed here. ;) Wanna see?
Well? How did I do with that one? I had to add the accent of black - it just seemed to fit and it is a neutral, right? lol. Don't you just love that sentiment????? It is from the upcoming hostess set Happiest Brithday Wishes. Just wait until you check out the new hostess program starting with the new catalog - can I say - "Anyone want a BIG SHOT FOR HALF PRICE??????" Really - you just wait ;)
Sorry - off in dream land again......
Back to the task at hand. The flowers from Awash with Flowers were stamped with tangerine tango and tempting turquoise and then I stamped their outlines with black staz on. Hence - the addition of basic black :). The bottom strip of old olive was also stamped with a leaf image from the same set. I felt the bottom was missing a little pizzzazz - so I added three tempting turquois brads from the brights brad pack and lined them up with the mat pack and paper piercer - A STAPLE IN MY STUFF - lol. Wrap basic black satin ribbon around the panel and tie a simple knot and there you go - a birthday card front.
HOLD ON - I still think is is missing a little something........a little more blingage, perhaps???? Ok - take a closer look:
I added smooch ink to the flowers to bring them to sparkly life. you like?
Well - that about sums it up today. I have a full day of this and that to accomplish. lol Now, GO STAMP. ;)
