*I was never meant to work* is my battle cry!!! Unfortunately, I do have to work, which often gets in the way of things I really want to do, such as stamping and participating in the daily challenges as they happen.
This is a napkin transfer technique from last week's technique challenge. When I saw the challenge, I knew immediately that I wanted to use this cool napkin I had saved from a friend's birthday party. I just loved this 1950s lady lounging in the grass in her pretty pink princess dress like she had not a care in the world.
I used a rainbow spectrum pad to brayer the vibrant bg.
