It started out as a beautiful sunny day but around 5:00 the heavens opened and we had rain for the rest of the evening. I did get a little crafting done in the morning and then ran a few errands in the convertible! I also helped Jim with some computer stuff remotely in the evening and Taylor came by to spend some time with me. Later on we ran to BJ’s with Heather so she could use her coupons before they expired! She is too funny! I’m going to have breakfast with Heather this morning and then over to Sue’s for a little bit to work on some Etsy stuff! 😀
Now it’s time for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge…
A nice bright cheery group of colors, wouldn’t you say?! I’m still keeping it simple! To start my card is used my MISTI to stamp the solid part of the “feathers” from the Simon Says Stamp One With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set in High Dive, Goldenlocks and Hot Mama ink. After they had dried I stamped the outlines in Versa-Mark and heat embossed them with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. They are cut out with the Coordinating Dies and adhered to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Hot Mama in the lower right corner. A few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear and Gold Sequins finish the card! I know that the “feathers” are trees but I think they work pretty well! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink. Paper Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and check out the rest of the Team’s cards and lets see yours in the gallery! I thank you for stopping by! Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Hi Justin,
Very cool card!! When I first saw the colors, I thought “ugh”. But then I saw your card – Wow!
Hello Gerri!
Thanks! I thought the same thing with the colors! 🙂
Trees as feathers eh? Goes to show the artistic part of your brain is working well. I actually love the color combo for the challenge. Bright and cheerful and “wake you up” kind of colors. Great job Justin.
Before I forget – here’s a shout out to Nancy Baxter – HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY! It sounds like you had a good day yesterday Justin and, again, did more in one day then I can do in a week! LOL You have yourself a Tantalizing Tuesday my friend. Love and hugs to you! XXOO 🙂
LOL! Yes Grace! Why not?! They are definitely wake you up colors!
Sometimes I get a lot done, others times nothing at all! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂
