The weather here yesterday was the best we have had in months! It was in the high 60’s and yes, I got to drive home from work with the top down and the music up nice and loud! Not the best day at work, it’s always busy but sometimes things can make it busier. The copier has broken so many times the technician had to stay and keep fixing it every 15 minutes yesterday. Time for a new one I think. After work I went over to Heather’s and we ran to Target and then went back and hung out at her house. We had some wine and cheese and listened to music. We danced around like fools and laughed. A great way to end a Friday! I like to tell you when I find fun things as you know and I downloaded this fun new App called PopAGraph a little while ago and finally played with it last night. You can take elements and make them color and do all kinds of neat things to the picture. In honor of Andrew and Satellite Lane being at BOSS this weekend I did this one…
Pretty neat huh?! I did another one of 34th Street and highlighted a taxi. If you follow me on Instagram you can see it there!
Now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week Cindy H. has given us this fun one…
I made two cards for this. The first one I made I didn’t like at all the next day so I made the one that I’m posting today. The base of the card is Smoky Slate Card Stock and the background and the strip across the bottom are pieces of Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper. I heat embossed the flower image and greeting from the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Wisteria Wonder. The flowers are colored in with the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker. I added some Melon Mambo and colored the stems in with my Gumball Green Stampin’ Write Markers. I have had the Chalk Marker for a while but this is the first time I’ve used it. I love the nice soft look it gives when used to color in the flowers and that Watercolor Wonder DSP is just so neat! Thanks for taking some time out of your day to come and see what I’ve been up to. I hope that you enjoyed my card for his week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Have a simply wonderful Saturday! 🙂
