Although I loved the colors from Color Throwdown #30, I thought they were a bit hard this week! Of course, then I looked at the weekly sketch over at Card Positioning Systems and it looked hard, too, so I thought I might as well put 'em together!
I mounted another new set for this one, Fifth Avenue Floral, from Stampin' Up! And I tell you, I have only begun to play with this set~ I LOVE IT!!!
The top flower was colored in using blender pens and classic ink. I used my glue pad to add the sentiment, which I dusted in blue glitter. I also added orange glitter (glitter from Martha Stewart, of course!) in a couple places using a glue pen. The punch is also from Martha... I saw it used on someone else's card a few weeks ago and my quest to acquire it began... isn't it great how easily we are enabled by everyone?
I know I'm not alone... my husband thinks there ought to be a support group of some kind for people like me who snap up each & every stamp/punch/brad/etc... I see, but he knows we'd just egg each other on to collect more! LOL!
Have a great day!
