So Happy To Be Stamping!!…
Nothing says relaxation like some ink and rubbah!! I finally got back in my stamp room this morning after putting Ellie down for her {much needed} morning nap. I decided to do the sketch challenge for today. I really miss doing the daily challenges!!! Before I had Ellie, I was able to do almost every one of them. While I miss my daily stamping “routine,” I wouldn’t trade my stay at home time with Ellie for the world! The whole time I was making this card, I kept saying, “It needs something.” I would add a little detail here and a little detail there, unti this is what I came up with. Those “little details” that I speak of are the Weave background (Cornish Heritage Farms) on the Marigold Morning panel, along with the sponging of the edges of that panel; the sponging on the flower to make it look like it was rock ‘n rolled, the faux eyelets (created with my paper piercer and white signo pen); and the paper piercing under the sentiment. So without further ado, I give you this…
