still not stamping...

...at shopping our stash, i mean. since the current challenge encompassed (US) thanksgiving weekend with its myriad (but potentially craft-time-unfriendly) treats, we've made the "no stamping" challenge a two-week affair, and thus you still have loads of time to jump in! here's another card i made:

patterned paper: basic grey, prima, glitz + some vintage sheet music and half a doily from my stash; the texture-y heart is white modelling paste thru a tim holtz stencil on strathmore paper... highlighted by koi watercolor paints... with scraps of an old sewin pattern messily stuck down with liquitex gloss medium... and a little clear glitter sprinkled on while it was still wet... so now ya know, lol; washi sticker strips: heidi swapp; floral + leaf:prima; ink for edges: colorbox; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine

before you say anything, YES, at some point i will once again make cards that aren't pink!!! well, probably. i mean, i assume so... yeah, it's bound to happen. in the meantime, i needed another anniversary card and i had a bunch of the stuff i didn't use last week still sitting in a pile, so this is what happened. and i have to say i kinda ♥LOVE♥ it. heck, i love (gah*) pink for that matter! this card uses an experimental/serendipitous combination of stencil + watercolor + torn sewing pattern + glitter background scenario that evolved whilst i was "cleaning up" from various other projects. these rarely morph into full-blown use-able pages or cards, but they're FAB♥U♥LOUS for selectively cutting... say... a heart; which can then be used very harmoniously (imo) on a more "mainstream" project. so don't be afraid to go a little nuts with your supplies, it might just lead to something interesting!

there is always something interesting over at SOS for your inspiration; why not check out the amazing creations of my fellow design team members right now, darlings?!
