September 2, 2010

Happy Thursday to you! We are expecting 70* weather for the weekend!! This is great news as we will be heading to spend the weekend with my grandparents who have a hammock and a back deck in the shade. :)

That being said. This could be my last posting for at least a couple days. Once naptime is over today, I'll pretty much be busy, running around or gone until after church Sunday!

This card is for 2 challenges this week: Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo #28 and Stampin 411 posted a technique challenge. The color challenge: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze and Pink pirouette. A great color scheme, but I was hard-pressed for a set that I thought befit it. It seems very shabby chic or vintage... I dug for one of the few floral sets I have; I chose this one because it is light, airy and dainty and would be most likely to work with the technique. The Technique Challenge was Spotlighting, something I have unsuccessfully attempted in the past. I just need to get more appropriate stamp sets! (Key words: MORE stamp sets!!!)

Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Botanical Blooms, Thank You Kindly
Ink: Basic Black, Black StazOn, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler (dipped my blender pen in ink and colored)
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Taste of Textiles (textured black piece), Urban Oasis DSP (Baja piece), Very Vanilla
Tools: Blender Pen, 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon Very Vanilla, Scallop Edge punch, 1" & 1 1/4" Circle punches, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, 2Way glue pen, dimensionals (between the Vanilla and Pink circles), mini glue dot for the bow

Thanks for clicking over to my blog today!
