Yikes! What should have taken maybe 30 minutes took like 2 hours! Granted I had to stop and put kids in the tub and entertain my mother briefly, but honestly! Anyway, it's not making me jump up and down, but it's cute.
I used adorable new patterned paper called Chloe's Closet by Making Memories. I have been partial to orange lately and I really love the colors and patterns in this collection. The solid cardstock is a mix of Papertrey Ink and just scraps of blue and green that matched well. The stamped image is from Verve Visual's Abundant Blessings. I inked it up with various colors of Versa Magic Dew Drops. I inked around every panel with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress Inks. The flowers were uncolored/natural Prima's that I colored with Copic markers to coordinate with the paper and finished with a button. The flower in the birds mouth has a little Liquid Pearl center. The decorative trim is from a Martha Stewart border punch.
No snow yet. I guess I am kinda hopin' we get dumped on so I don't have to go into the office! We'll just have to wait and see...but I ain't holdin' my breath! Have a great day!
