Oh my I haven't made a card since the middle of last week!!!! Between the work on my utility room, the new puppy and a lingering cough... I just haven't been able to sit and work. If I don't tonight, I just may shut down and go on strike!
Now that means that I have no card today for A Spoon Full of Sugar. I feel so down and sad. I hope to get it done later today and will get it posted tomorrow. Please do visit the other more organized DT members cards at the challenge - A great Theme this week - BABY!
Well I will go ahead and post another one of my Leere Aldrich cards that I made a while back.
This image is called "Sisters" - now if only me and my sister looked that cute! Sorry sis... but true huh?
The image is colored with Copics, and high lighted with white gel pen, and spica glitter pens. The edges are doodled, including the sentiment.. yes I have shown that sentiment quite a bit. Told you I love it! It is part of the Sentiment B collection by Leere Aldrich. I wanted this card to have a luxurious feel, so my ribbon is velour... mmmm velour. And I was really lucky to have found some Prima Flowers in the same color.... I was thinking I may have to spray white ones with my Copic Air system, but these were just too perfect. Now it is hard to tell from the photo, but the mini brads are the exact same color as the green in the pattern paper. To give some depth to the papers I inked the edges of everything with a dark brown ink before putting it all together. I am just loving these images! And there are more to ink and color still!
Thanks so much for visiting and I do hope to get back to normal, or as normal as I get. I really wonder how sane it was to re-do the our utility room at the exact same time as getting a puppy. A puppy no bigger than a small bunny! But we seem to have lived through it, and now I can start cleaning up. The puppy, Libbie, definitely has held up our work.. we just can't stop playing with her! Too cute! My "utility room" is all over the house and is now able to be put into the new home we have built! It is so nice to have a real room - with my washer and dryer in place, shelves for storage (something this house has had no room for!), all clean and with new walls and new floor!
Hope you have a fun Tuesday planned... me MIL errands, home to start cleaning, and then me and my ink and images have a date!
HUGS and-
