I thought we could all do with a bit of humour today after a busy few weeks...so what better way to do it than those adorable Emerson gals...how could you not love them! I was inspired by the 2RedBananas Challenge: http://2redbananas.blogspot.com/
which was a sketch this week - phew!! Also the Stamp Something Challenges which is all about BLING: http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/
along with the If the Shoe Fits: http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/
which is also about BLING!! I must say at this point that I was also motivated by the fact that it dawned on me this morning as I was getting organised for the day, that I was meant to have made 10 cards for one of the boutiques that sells my card - OOPS - my bad!!
This particular one always makes me laugh - if only it was just the chocolate chips! LOL! I guess a lot of us can relate to it in one way or another! I really like this particular sketch, it worked well for using up those bits of DP that we collect (and have them ALL over the place) so I feel that I can justify the time spent by deluding myself that I have cleaned my desk - but it would seem that no-one else in may house hold is fooled! LOL!
I used the Labels 1 Nestibilitie to cut out the image, coloured them with chalks and added highlights with a Glitter pen....and you know me - I sponged every edge in sight. The layers are all backed with black CS. I have popped the image up on dimensionals and added a layered flower to the side. The top flower is actually foam - I wasn't sure about these at first, but I love the way they 'pop' up when a brad is used....the final touch is the Kaiser strip of gems - quick and easy!!
