Mornin' y'all! I had a lovely lunch yesterday with my friend Krissy and gave her the dinosaur picture I framed for her. She was just as excited about it as I thought she would be and said it will go in a place of honor in her office when she moves house. Yay! When I got home, I had just enough time to make a couple of cards but not to do any laundry, strange how that happened. Anyway, here's my card for today:
I love Butterfly Brilliance and its accompanying dies, but I hadn't used them in a long time--since last July! Now they're on the retiring list but they'll always have a home in my craft room. I was inspired by the umbrellas in the top right of the Hand-Stamped Sentiments challenge graphic:
I do love the tulips in the lower left, too, but that's for another time. For today's card, I chose a Balmy Blue pattern for a sky, and then chose colors from the umbrellas in the picture: Magenta Madness, Mango Melody (which doesn't look as orangey as I thought it should, but one of my (already retired) Blends is a bit dried out), and Rich Razzleberry. The butterflies and sentiment are all stamped with Night of Navy ink.
Say hello to the Sunday Stamps sketch:
Seems like it's been very popular, I feel like I've been seeing cards made with this sketch all over for the past few days. And it is a fun one!
Okay, I should probably chuck the towels in the washer and let it do its thing while I work in my craft room today. Cheers, y'all!
