Life is so hard sometimes, and sometimes we can't always do what we want to do, can we? That is how it has been lately with stamping. I had some issues with my legs recently and so I had to keep them elevated...which makes it difficult to sit at my desk and create. So I colored in my big easy chair, when I had good light, until I was able to be up and about and able to sit at my desk. And I LOVED IT! If my life was perfect, I would create and make cards and scrapbook to my heart's content. But in the meanwhile, I will do what I can when I can.
Over at TGIF Challenge Blog, they have a color challenge this week, #tgifc67 . The colors are Smoky Slate, Island Indigo, and Flirty Flamingo. This is the first time I have used Flirty Flamingo. I don't know why I haven't used it yet. It is one of my favorite new In-Colors, along with Dapper Denim. I must have been saving it up to use on something really special. And boy, do I love this card! I think it turned out amazing! Love, love, love it! Take a look:
All supplies are from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:

This is so beautiful! I have the decorative label punch, too, but I hardly ever see anyone use it. Thanks for giving me such a gorgeous idea of what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie! You are so kind! The Decorative Label Punch is one of my favorites for punching out a greeting! It's usually just the right size! Thanks for visiting my blog!
