After my tussle with the foiling, I had pancakes and turkey bacon for breakfast. Then I came back to my crafty space and pulled out a new stamp. I'm not sure what draws me to this but I am so crushing on it.
It's Simon Says Stamps Flora Background. ITs odd, the lines are thick, it reminds me of hot air balloons definitely not flowers...but every time I look at it I love it.
Today I used one of my favorite techniques - Heat Embossing and coloring with watercolor brush pens. Its easy and the colors are so vibrant.
I am entering this to the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteCat, I don't know how this one snuck by me... well, I actually DO know - somehow, my provider decided to consider 77 of my emails as spam... I'm not very happy about it!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for this beauty to take my mind elsewhere - turn it around and they remind me of Japanese lanterns!!
