I just got this new stamp in the mail yesterday. So I had to put it to ink. Was a little rushed with the whole card, so I apologize that it isn't up to par. I have billing.....again. Must get that done or we don't get paid. Vicious cycle. Can't believe how fast these months are going. Seems like it is always the 25th, billing time. That should be a good thing. It just takes a lot of time to do it. Since I work during the day, billing must be done at night, when I am tired, or want to be on SCS. lol The really hard part, is getting DH to give me all his info. We have to go through each and every customer because he thinks it takes to long to write down what he did at the pool before he leaves. Oh well. Thanks for letting me vent........on to the card......
Stamped my new image on w/c paper and colored with w/c's. Versa marked and clear ep it, then sponged in the sky. The water was w/c'd. Cut it out using a square coluzzle. Added the black line with a marker.
The two green rectangles were cut from a panel of white cs that I had put chalk paint on. Always trying something new. So if you had chalk, you could write on it and then erase it. Pretty cool, huh.
The bg is the faux denim with a twist. I made a wave stencil and sponged some more of the darker blue for a wavy look. Didn't quite turn out as I had planned. Also added some black doodle lines and white lines. I will be working on this technique a little more at another time. Moving on....
I lightly sponged the edges of a white card garden green. Then stamped the Mutnik squares.
Put all my panels on popping up the image one. Did I happen to mention that while making this card I received about 5 phone calls. Yikes! Putting me behind. Oh well, I guess I didn't have to pick up the phone if I really didn't want to talk. Whoa, am I in a mood or what! SORRY! It was HOT today........and the flight back from England took forever!!! Don't worry, I'll shake it off. Thanks so very much for looking! :0)
