Hi, everyone! Guess what! I made something! And boy, did it feel good! How can one not be inspired by
Betsy Veldman's color blending technique she used in this week's video? Have you seen it? If not, go to Nichole's blog
here, check it out and be inspired!
I'm also linking this card to my blog group,
The Paper Dolls, challenge for this week too, which is to create a card to express gratitude. I have a lot of gratitude for so many people right now. I could send this card to over 200 people!
Here it is:
I splurged recently and ordered some PTI stamps that have been on my wish list for too long. Two of the sets were On My Couch and its additions. I stamped the couch on Fine Linen felt that I die-cut with the matching die. I blended the wall with Spring Rain, Color Box's Sky Blue, and Enchanted Evening. The floor was blended with Dark Chocolate and VersaMagic's Sahara Sand.
I also used Betsy's technique on the sentiment panel. I die-cut a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock with the new Sending You die, stamped the sentiments from Inside and Out: Thank You and On My Couch, tied some Martha Stewart twine around it after blending the Dark Chocolate ink again. I folded the bottom portion of the panel under - just like Betsy. Normally, I would cut it off, but I like the look of the fold.
I have made a deal with my son that on Wednesdays and Thursdays after school, we will have craft time. We pinkie-swore on it, so hopefully the deal will stick. I hope to get something else done today...anything!
Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!
