I've been working a lot of extra hours recently, and just haven't had time for much else. Hopefully I'll start to get more time in the evenings to be crafty, soon! I thought I would share this card I made using images from my recently released Whipper Snapper cling set called Think Happy Thoughts.
I stamped the image in black Memento ink on linen paper and colored her with markers. I used some distress ink to warm up the edges of all the layers, and added some vintage buttons for extra charm.
I even decorated the backside with another one of my stamp images, from a set called Signature Series. This is one set that never leaves my workspace!
Now, I'm off to run errands. I can't remember the last time I went to the grocery store ... and there's not much else in the fridge besides farm fresh eggs. Time to hit the market!
Enjoy the weekend!
Oh oh! Your girl is beautiful! I love that linen paper and how you colored her and sponged around the edges. And of course you would have to doll up the back with the ewe and draw in the grass and flowers--so cute!

Your card is precious! Love the bright colors and sweet touches!
I hope you got some yummy groceries for you and Alan! Sometimes it does get bare in the cupboards and the fridge! I wish you could have a LONG vacation, and get to do what you want to do! That would be so nice...maybe someday, huh?! Enjoy your Sunday, and RELAX a bit! :D
