Hello and Happy Wednesday! The card that I have today is for the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #12 and for the Colour Queen Color Challenge #82 and even though I didn't have two of the colors (Pear Pizzazz & Baja Breeze) for the challenge I went with colors I thought were closest (Taken with Teal & Mellow Moss). My card uses two Papertrey Ink stamp sets, Four of a Kind and Signature Greetings. I kept my card layout clean and simple and used three panels (each measuring 1 3/4"x 4") for my background and a 1 1/2" horizontal strip with ribbon and scallop border. For the flowers I did the rock & roll technique, first inking them up in Taken with Teal and then rolling the edges in Tempting Turquoise before stamping them out, then added a green rhinestone to the centers.
If you've been a regular reader of my blog, you'll notice that lately I haven't been posting very much. The reason being is that I've been trying to adjust to a new schedule. My husband's work has picked up (yes I'm grateful) which makes him gone all day of course with meetings in the evening and some times work or meetings on the weekend and now he is also gone back to school for EMS training two nights a week and every other Saturday. So add that in with my daughter's dance competitions which have taken me away for a few weekends (we still have at least three more to go before her recital) and daily life of being a mother of three and I think you get the picture. Family always comes first even though I miss more stamping time.
