What a Week!!!! Starting Tuedsay morning I have been riding a Big Huge Wave of Awesomeness! Tuesday was a wonderful day, I spent most of it with goosebumps and huge smile on my face. Then Wednesday came and it was LOST Premiere!!! My co-worker that makes most work days Super Stressful left for a 3 week leave of absence starting Thurs...WOO HOO, what a week. :)
I haven't had a lot of crafting time, but I hope to make up for that this weekend. I did get to make something last night for the Friday Bloggers Challenge. This week it was a color challenge...Red, Black, Kiwi Kiss and White (or Vanilla.) I got my new Memory Box stamps last night so I wanted to play with one of those...I picked this butterfly and cut him out and curled the wings alittle before layering over an uncolored image.
Here is a detail shot of the Sunflower Shimmerz I added to the Butterfly for some Shine!
Supplies:
Stamps: Periwinkle, Thanks script (Memory Box)
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black, Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento,) Copic Markers
Misc: Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Dew Drops, Sunflower Shimmerz Glitter Paint, MS Crafts Simple Scallop Border Punch (sorry Edie, not trying to rub it in, you just reminded me that I had it.)
Thanks for stopping by!
