~ You Made My Day ~
July 21st, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good day, friends!
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed…. I admit it. First thing I did was stick a cup of coffee (leftover from yesterday) into the microwave. When I pulled it out, it seemed warm, but not hot. Then I put a tad of sugar in and it foamed up and over the sides of the cup…running down the cabinets and onto the floor. Great. So instead of drinking a cup of coffee first, I ended up mopping up a mess.
Then I sat down and logged on to SCS. Now, I adore Judy (StampingQueenJAR). She is one of my favorite people of all time. But the colors she picked this morning messed with my head.
I sat down at my desk and fiddled around with the colors for a few minutes and pulled out a set from Our Craft Lounge. I was about 2/3rds of the way done with that when it occured to me that I hated what it was looking like. Back to the drawing board.
I took a deep breath and let it go. I was trying too hard and wasn’t having any fun. So I just pulled out SU!’s Fifth Avenue Floral and started playing. I put no thought into what I was doing, I was just doing. This is what resulted…
I stamped and colored the flowers and popped them on heavy frosted acetate. Then I cut around them a bit and that’s it!
Here are my deets:
Stamps: Stampin’ Up’s Fifth Avenue Floral
Colors: GP White, Night of Navy, Really Rust, Pretty in Pink, SU dps
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics, white gel pen for accents
Accessories: candy dots, ribbon, heavy frosted acetate, dimensionals
