Bloomin' Bookmark . . .
Well, I got to stamp today. Not exactly for a great reason though. I stayed home from school today with my DD who was complaining of a slight sore throat last night and this morning had a fever and vomiting - not fun! She seems to be doing better tonight though - she actually ate something, was playing a bit and her fever is down, so we are hoping to be able to go back to school tomorrow. She took several much needed naps today though, so I took advantage of the downtime to stamp a bit. I actually was quite productive! I completed a set of 10 ATCs for an upcoming swap, as well as two challenge cards. This one was made for the Color Challenge - Basic Gray, Blush Blossom, and Groovy Guava. I just had to play with this beautiful long stemmed flower again from the SU! set Bloomin' Beautiful. I used watercolor paper for the main image and really played around with layering colors. This is also a bookmark, which is quite simply held in place on the card by the "bloom" band near the bottom. The patterned paper is one of my favorites from the retired SU! Simply Scrappin' Kit Secret Garden. Other accessories include a pewter jumbo eyelet, vintage brads, guava double stitched ribbon, and gray taffeta ribbon. Be sure to check back tomorrow for a really cute card for the Sketch Challenge!
