Hey y'all! Big day here in Snapdragon Land--in less than an hour, I'll be signing the paperwork for us to buy our new house in Colorado. This is the first time the hubs and I have ever bought a house, so it's a really big deal for us!
So while I wait for the notary to get here (we're doing a remote close since I'm in Texas and the hubs is not even in this hemisphere), I have a card to share that will be going to my hubs soon:
It's...SUPERMAN! Yes, I have Superman stamps. This one happened to be out on my craft table (Ryan was going to make a Superman card for his dad and then got distracted and never did it) and it was perfect for a couple of challenges. Love the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
I did tweak it a little bit with my Superman image for the main image panel and the placement of the sentiment, but I think you can see that I definitely started with the sketch.
Next up is the Festive Friday challenge:
I used twine, alcohol markers, Superman, and a thanks sentiment. I don't really count this as masculine colors because I like to tease the hubs about the Man Rainbow--it seems like 99% of his wardrobe is black, navy blue, gray, and khaki, so that's what I think of as "masculine" colors. Anyway, my hubs always does a lot to take care of me and the kid, and he's put in a lot of work on this house acquisition thing so basically I'm just signing the papers. So he deserves a Superman thank you card.
Happily for me, Superman dovetails nicely with the Cupcake Inspirations color combo:
I always think of the triadic red-yellow-blue color combo as the basic Superman. I used Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, and Azure Afternoon for my colors. Took me a while to get Supes colored in, some of those spaces are teeny tiny!
That's it for me today, peeps. Have a great day!
Supplies:
Stamps: Superman from Inkadinkado, Latte Love
Ink: Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon, Stampin' Blends in Azure Afternoon, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, SU800
