Well, I am going to start making excuses right off...before I get emails! I don't know what made me think I could do my Technique Tuesday today? Yikes, what was I thinking? DD has her Christmas dance performance this evening and I work today...so like when was I planning on stamping? In my dreams I guess. Yesterday she had her rehearsal and I baked cookies for my oldest for her school bake sale...and somehow, I never managed to make it to my stamping room.
I do have a card to share! Actually I made this card a couple of weeks ago for a Gina K sketch Challenge, that never did get posted.
I'm actually quite happy that I didn't get it posted, because it gives me something to share at a time when I really haven't had time to stamp at all!
I used "Flowers for Daisy" which I ordered this summer, and believe it or not this is it's first inking. Ah, but you know, I just had to have it. Now you know why I've had to institute my use it this week rule!
The flowers were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and watercoloured with ink and aquapainter. The sketch was fairly simple so I kept the card simple too! The base is Summer Sun and I added Riding Hood Red and designer paper from Bella Rose. Some Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon and a couple rows of piercing finish it off. Oh, and there is some Copper Stickles in the flower centres, but I couldn't pick them up on camera. You can see a bit of the effect in the banner pic, but the effect is subtle in real life, so I didn't spend too much time trying to catch it for the camera.
I am hoping to get into my studio tomorrow.....I need to stamp!!! As for Technique Tuesday...well I'm afraid to commit now, but I hope tomorrow! I'll be doing tags for my Technique Tuesday this month, and I have some ideas that I'm looking forward to transferring to paper. In the meantime, have a fabulous day and thanks for dropping by! You know I love it when you do!
