Hello and welcome back to the blog! Today I am sharing a card for my favorite challenge Freshly Made Sketches! But before I get to the challenge, I gotta say yesterday was interesting and today my shoulder is feeling much better, but still has a long way to go. I was chatting with Jeanne and saying how we need to do a vlog about what happens while we crafty chat, lol! Some things are better left unsaid. Just to let you in a bit, I complain about not have the latest and greatest and how I used to be a show-off, and how I felt like an ass. What happens in a crafty chat, doesn't always stay in the chat! lol. Jeanne is my bestie and totally understands me. I'm damn lucky to call her friend!
FMSChallenges #418 is from Jacquie this week. So you may notice that my coloring is different than normal. Since the shoulder isn't 100% yet, I thought I'd go old school, and color only the outlines of the images for my floral from Simon Says Stamp its called Center Cut Flowers. I used Prisma Colored Pencils in Aquamarine, Chartreuse, Sunburst Yellow, and Process Red. Along with a Stitched Circle die from my stash and Lemon Yellow and Obsidian Black inks from Altenew. I didn't have a die, for the shape, but I thought the stamp was very reminiscent of the sketch for the challenge. I also took the leftover colored piece and made it into a bookmark for my bible.
Here's the other side, of my bookmark with another stamp in the same Reverse Confetti stamp set. Using the same Lemon Yellow from Altenew, I wiped the oval ink pad all over the cardstock.
Well, that's it for today, every day God gives me the gift of crafting, love, family, and friendship and I am grateful to him. As the verse about says, we need to let go of the things that we don't need and focus on that which makes us better. Amen
:)
