Hello! I love the way today's card came out. I used another of the sets I got at the scrapbook convention from Rubbernecker and I used a sketch from Mojo Monday from their 2009 sketch book. I am not sure I have ever done this sketch, but I love it. Let me show you. Enjoy!
See what I mean? Such a simple sketch, but it really has a lot of interest. The flowers come in a 3 part set. First, you have the outline which I stamped in black, and then you have 3 solid flowers which I stamped in ink and spritzed with a little water before stamping, and then the leaves are also solid which I did the same way, inked and spritzed. Both I stamped over the top by just guessing, as you can see they are not perfectly lined up, but I like this effect. I guess if you really wanted it to be exact, you would have to use a stamp positioner, but fortunately, I didn't have to go that route, since I like the effect. The flowers are a little more yellow than they appear here. They are closer to the color of the ribbon, so it all matches. What do you think? Do you like this one?
Recipe:
Paper - Fancy Pants Designs Park Bench 6 x 6 pad, Cardstock White, Black

Other - Black Pearls, Ribbon by American Crafts
Right now I am going to write my post for tomorrow, as in the morning it will be a mad rush for me to get everything finished and packed in the car and to drive to Waxahachie for my class.
On another note, I just found out how much I sold at the garage sale last weekend. I don't know if I told you, but there were ton more stamps this time, than last and so maybe, that is why my take (after the store's percentage) is only $63! YUK! Oh, well, that is $63 more than I had before, right? I had all the sets of 5 to 10 stamps marked $5, maybe next time $3 or if I can talk myself into it ... $1??? We'll see! I mean it was hard for me to go down to $5 this time, but I am getting tired of hauling the stuff back and forth, and after all, this is ex-imprints inventory, not my personal stash stuff. Thanks for letting me vent here!
See you tomorrow!
Happy Stamping!
Tina
