I must have been dreaming when I wrote down this week's color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments:
I made my project with Coastal Cabana rather than Pistachio Pudding. Sorry Ladies!! I linked up my project and noticed then. It's been much too crazy of a day to go back and change now!
Here is my card...yes, card. I couldn't find a photo that fit, but my husband was pretty impressed by what I came up with so let's see if he was just being nice.
One of the first items I fell in love with in the new catalog was the Butterfly Collection wheel. I have to admit, none of the rubber stays on the wheel when they make it here. I find it easier to stamp them using blocks. This also helped in coloring the butterflies for my background!
From there I really didn't know where I wanted to go. I had a doily laying on my desk...it was white, my cardstock was Vanilla. (See Mindy, you're not the only one!) I laid it on my Cantaloupe ink pad, but then it was too big, so I folded some over. Yes, I'm a fly by the seat of my pants creator!
Then sentiment? I recently ordered Loving Thoughts, I know, not sure why it took so long. Dare to Dream seemed to go with the butterflies. A couple of butterflies, and some linen thread...because I'm a ribbon or twine to finish a card kind of person.
SO, other than my big color flub, I'm happy. Be sure to head over and see what the other ladies have created. I never look at the post until my project is done because I don't want to be influenced....I had to giggle when I saw so many butterflies and another half doily. I knew I loved these Ladies!!
LOVE THIS!!! I can't even find the right words, except for... SERIOUSLY? I don't even know where to start, hold on let me wipe the drool from my chin! WOW, that is an awesome card- great job!
ReplyDeleteFabulous flurry of flutterbyes! I love them :) Beautiful bright doily, too. (I have the same trouble with them...love to use them on everything, but I hadn't thought to recolor, duh!!! haha) Great job!
