Mornin', peeps! I'm still getting my mojo back together after almost a week of not being crafty, but I think I'm getting there. This morning, I made this card:
I am continuing to love on my retiring stamps and accessories a bit--I used two retiring stamp sets, a retiring embossing folder, retiring Framelits, retiring patterned paper, and retiring ink. That's a lot of retirement :) The white panel is popped up from the card base, and the rose is popped up from the white panel, so this card is extra-dimensional. Just thought I'd let you know since you can't see it in the photo.
I used the color challenge from Colour Me...!
Usually I am not over fond of color challenges that feature one color and neutrals, but for some reason I am totally in love with Crisp Cantaloupe (or Calypso Coral for that matter) and Sahara Sand. So I had to play along with this one. I hope the challenge hostesses over there won't give me demerits for using some Calypso Coral ink on the rose...it's a Dynamic Duo with Crisp Cantaloupe, so really it's like the same color but a darker shade. And I needed some darker shade for my rose :)
I also used this week's fantastic Freshly Made Sketch:
I think I play along over there almost every single week. And this week I stuck VERY close to the sketch, lemme pat myself on the back for that :D
Well, since my Skype date bailed on me today (I still love you, Missy) guess that means I can go right back into the crafting cave and make something else. Cheers, peeps!
