Hi and thanks for stopping by! I had a really busy day yesterday. Can you believe we got hit with more snow? A mechanical voice wakes us at 5 am to tell us that there is a two hour delay and buses are running late. Then at 7 they call again to tell us school has been cancelled. So how do you relax and go back to bed? You've been up for two hours getting ready to meet the bus! I shouldn't complain, I'm glad to have the kids home - and they did shovel the sidewalks and clear the driveway. It's just starting to feel like Spring will never get here! I need more patience!!
A new challenge begins today at CASE Study and our muse this month is Joni Nina Andaya from Papel with Love blog. Check out this beautiful inspiration photo! I think it was love at first sight for me with the bright colors! Sometimes I think a card is just perfect "as is" or there is a new technique that I just "have to try" so I don't change a whole lot. This is absolutely one of them. I stamped my birds in Versamark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then for the fun part - getting all inky and blending the colors. I was so tempted to reach for the red, pink and yellow in Joni's design but I talked myself down. I love blue and purple too! LOL!!
I was a coward and didn't spritz the ink with water! As an alternative I added some gold perfect pearls. To make the spots I drew them with a Sakura Quickie Glue pen, let the glue dry and then dusted the spots with Perfect Pearls powder. The glue is sticky and keeps the powder from moving around.
