This is my card for Wed. sketch and Thurs. ways to use it. Today, I'm on the same team Cindy (Mothermark) is on: playing injured. While she had an injured lip, I have 3 burned fingers. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has put an oven mitt on one hand and pulled the pan out of the oven with the other hand. All I could say was, That's gonna hurt. Ok, I'm probably the only one who's done it twice. You'd think I'd learn left from right by now. Or at least which hand the mitt is on.
I probably have some 'splainin' to do about this card. The dp (sorta) is actually from a dollar pack of notecards I bought at Mike's. I just loved the colors. I cut the front off and used it as my dp. The flower is a silk flower that I took apart and put back together, adding little piece of ribbon for the pinwheel. I brushed a little twinkling H2Os on it, but I couldn't get the pic to capture it.
The border was done w/ a corner punch (ANM Anna Griffin) that I took the little plastic guides out so I could punch it straight. It's now back to being a corner punch again. The rest is just layered a few times. Did the Dots on the border piece and used the Fastenator for my gratuitous staple use. Couple more staples on the flower center.
We have a rubber stamp convention here tomorrow so I have to go warm up. Practice the 50 yd dash so I can beat the others in. Hurdles, so I can leap fellow stampers at a single bound. Practice speed reading backwards so I can pick out unmounteds. That thing w/ the mirror really slows me down. Hopefully I won't buy one I think is a fancy Happy Birthday and find out it really says Welcome to Greenland or something. The last 4 conventions I worked doing demos so I really didn't get to shop. This time, lots of shopping. Wish me luck and TFL.
