RS55/ SUO66- Spring time Flowers

   

Ok, so here it is, my first attempt of stamping posies from retired  SU! Fifth Avenue Floral and coloring them on vellum.

I used Stazon ink, and then filled in with a paintbrush and Primrose Petals ink, then cut out. I then used some Stickles for the inside. I punched a butterfly in vellum then layered it on Glossy White cardstock.  Its my take on the Retro Sketches layout.

Keeping in mind that I wanted to use the Craft Dash challenge, and it has to be under 10 minutes. So I knew I was going to be close, since cutting out those flowers was a time eater! 

 

Time 9:48 - whew!

Dusting off the Pastels

It dawned on me about a week ago - when Patty Bennett mentioned about getting your Pastels out - that I haven't looked at my pastels, since I let my daughter used them months ago! Heck, it may have been last school year... and before that who knows! I can honestly say I haven't made the best attempt in using them since I have received them! {YIKES!}.

I looked around the craft cave and pulled the 5th Avenue Floral out, to use. I figured the larger the area to try this technique the better it will be! I wasn't disappointed! 

Technique: Stamp your imagine with Versamark, then grabe your Daubers, Pastel color of choice and stamp the imagine... use with some force for darker color ... its easy!

I cut the image and then popped it up on Dimensionals, for a better effect. I used BURGUNDY.. it doesnt look like it does it?  I am not sure when I last used Burgundy color for anything! I love the look and the technique was very easy! Definately you must try! 

Thank you Patty for your inspiration! 

Have a great day!

 Its already Tuesday! I cannot seem to catch a break... well ok.. maybe...but seriously if I do not get back to a "normal" sleeping pattern, I will be another crazy over full moon.. which is Friday....oh thank you!
I guess it could be the heat... or this sleeping with less people in the house... one teen gone and other half is gone. Its a mom thing I am sure...or maybe just me?

I just need a few blank cards... and frankly I find them to be difficult- or maybe its the sudden realization that most of my favorite GO TO sets are now retired? That sucks but new ones will take those places too. I get that.  I just better get my butt ordering the new stuff!

I really have no idea if I like this card... but I recently say something like this... and it stuck in my head... maybe it needs something more?  I will work on it.. in the meantime... WHAT DO YOU THINK??

Thanks for stopping by!
