Hey, all! Sorry I've been slacking on the posts lately. I've had NO mojo since coming back from my vacation, so I've been spending time fixing up the house. I'm getting ready to tackle the kitchen...nothing too major...just paint, hardware for the cabinets, and some new shelves & artwork to hang. Other than that, I've just been freshening things up in general--new bedding, pillows & throws for the living room, etc.Today was the first day I felt that creative spark...I had Kazan's Sketch 57 in my head and finally came up with an idea I'm fairly happy with.
When I saw the three circles on
the sketch, I immediately thought of this balloon stamp...but then I got stuck on the scalloped layer. I didn't want patterned paper or ribbon or anything...I felt it'd be too busy. And then I finally realized I could do clouds since they've got scalloped edges anyway. Yay! I finished it off with some "grass" at the bottom. Hope you like it!Stamps: Everyday Button Bits, Mega Mixed Messages (PTI), Head in the Clouds (Sassafras)
Paper: Green Galore, Cool Caribbean, PTI white
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: PTI buttons, dimensionals
