Nope, I'm not dead! Did yah miss me? lol
I have been working like a mad woman recently and I have been noticing that all my days go by like a blur! Bill has had the last 4 days off so I took the opportunity to cram in as many Dirty Dozen projects as I could in that time frame, babysat for my cousin, prepped for and taught a card class. I have gotten alot done so far, but I still have so much to do before we leave for a week's worth of camping where there is *gasp* little to no Internet access...oh the horrors! *grin*
So as I was coming up for a breath of fresh air to do something non design team affiliated, Bill noticed what I was doing and just shook his head. On his way out of my craft room he muttered to himself that I am a glutton for punishment! - Must be a man...he just doesn't get it does he? lol
Well enough about that...at least you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth and that the abandonment was just temporary :) Today is the Sketch Challenge (SC232) over at SCS. As you can probably tell already, I flipped the sketch around so that I could have a top fold, A2 sized card. I needed to make something fairly simple, but I didn't want it to look simple. I chose a Magenta Wheel that I unmounted and cut into sections to stamp out my image. It was the perfect size with only a small amount of watercolouring. The image fit really well with my Cuttlebug Dies that I used for the square pieces.
I then added some really rich and elegant ribbon from Clear Dollar Stamps and a little half pearl embellishment to finish it off :) Ok, now that I have had a break, I'm headed back down to my craft room...If I don't resurface by the morning...send chocolate and a whole lotta coffee!
