Sabrina has a timely WTUI challenge for us, I Herby Resolve , for crafting goals. I resolve to use my stash. I have a 5" stack of images that I've already colored, an 8" stack of inked and/or embossed backgrounds, plus pre stamped and die cut sentiments. Time to put them to good use! This card supports two additional resolutions, to get together with those I love more and to send the cards I make. This on its way to my dearest friend. We've been friends since she was 4 and I was 7. We met for lunch last week and plan to get together again soon. Thought a card would be a good reminder!
The AI girls were in my pre colored stash, I added a few details and cut them out. Stash bg pieces are the embossed brick bg and woodgrain bar. I die cut a candelabra (had the die for a year without using) from black cs and vellum. Cut off the black candles, replaced with vellum and added Crystal Glaze for the light fixtures. Adhered pieces to brick ef and black card base. Stamped the sentiment, sponged with ink and popped it with foam tape. Stamped a flourish above and below sentiment to complete. TFL

Wow! I admire that you take the time to stamp and color images ahead of time. I don't have that kind of patience. I love how you colored those two "old broads" and the sentiment.

Oh my goodness a 5" stack of already colored images, where ever did you find the time to color that many amazing images. Oh how I need more time for coloring. I love these AI ladies and love seeing them on cards. I bet you can crank out some amazing cards with all the BGs and terrific colored images. I look forward to seeing how you do with your resolution to use them up. I should take a pre-resolution picture of my table of stuff I am trying to use up and one at the end of the year. This is a great challenge for me.
