Good morning everyone!!! I am having such a lazy day today...haven't even had a shower yet...yikes!!! I really need to get outside and work in the flower gardens...everything is so dead looking....I need to cut off the brown tops and pull weeds so my neighbors quit giving me dirty looks...heeheehe!! If we don't get rain I may not have any flowers to worry about. It seems the country either has floods or drought...no happy medium any more....anyway, on that happy note...let me tell you about my CDS cards.
The Ways to Use It challenge on Splitcoast today is to create using a frugal find. Whether it's something inexpensive or something recycled... find ways to incorporate it into your design. I have a whole box of *stuff* that I hoard...things that come off packages, boxes, and gifts. Today I used a piece of rope like ribbon that was tied around a gift box of Ghirardelli chocolates...tooo yummy for words!!
The Clear Dollar Stamps Sorry Charlie image and sentiment were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with copics. The background layers were sponged, distressed, doodled, and torn...sounds like I beat the poor thing!! I did add the pearls for a little glam...rustic charm!!
Oh, BTW, Clear Dollar Stamps is looking for a Guest Designer for the month of March...check it out on Lori McCroskey's blog!!
The Wednesday Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast gave me another opportunity to use my Inchies!! Also, it got up in the 80's that day so I needed to work with snowflakes and penguins to cool things off!!
The images from Clear Dollar Stamps Zoo Critters set were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. They were glammed up with a little glitter, cutout and attached to the Inchie from Inchie Art, LLC with glue dots. Snowflakes were sponged on the Inchie using a home made stencil with Soft Sky and punched snowflakes, pearls, and ribbon finish it off.
Thanks for visiting today and I hope you have a great day!!!
