Do you ever do this?… I went down to my studio this evening to clean. It was quite a mess. I have an 8ft long desk and you could not see one square inch of it. There were papers, ribbons, brads, ink pads… you name it, it was out on the desk. I sat down in my chair and *sighed*. Ok, I thought, If I clean just enough room to work, I’ll allow myself to stamp an image and color it before I finish cleaning. So, I went to work putting things away. While I was putting things away, I found this piece of orange ribbon. I like orange. I thought, what goes with orange? Well, carrots, of course! Then the search was on. Did I have a carrot stamp? Yes! I do! LOL I took the image out, stamped it and decided since I was trying to be good, I’d clean a little more while I was thinking of what to do with the image I’d stamped. Not thirty seconds went by before I sat down again and started coloring. Then it hit me. I don’t have any DP or background stamps to go with my bunny/carrot image, so I’ll have to make some! More stamping, more coloring. The mess that I’d just cleaned was starting to pile up again…… hmmm..
So, to make a long story short.. I’m one step closer to having my Easter cards done, but no where near having my studio clean!
Here’s what I came up with. The DP is made from the small carrot in this Hare for the Holidays set from My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com). The Cool Caribbean layer is cuttlebugged only on one half. The image was colored with copics, layered with dimensionals and voila… done.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: My Favorite Things’ Hare for the Holidays
Colors: Only Orange, Green Galore, Cool Caribbean, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: Orange ribbon, orange brads, dimensionals, cuttlebug EF
TFL!~ and have a great night!
