Wow, I've been MIA from my blog longer than I realized! It's just like with exercise, you take a day off, which turns into two, which turns into three, and before you know it, a week has passed! Only one key difference: I like blogging. So you know I won't ever be gone for long. Did ya miss me {wink}?
I've actually been stamping a ton since my last post. This first card I'm showing tonight is one that I made for Tuesday's SCS Color Challenge. I posted it in my SCS gallery, but forgot to put it up here. What a scary combo for me! Pixie Pink (ick!!), Tangerine Tango, and Kiwi Kiss (I substituted Old Olive). I opted to minimize the Tangerine Tango, but I promise it's in there on some of the flowers in the tub. The image is from My Favorite Things - love that polka-dot bathtub! I colored it with a combination of Copic markers and SU markers, then added some Stickles to the flowers and colored over the ball feet and shower head with a silver Spica pen.
This card also fits with Sunday's Featured Stamper Challenge. This week, we're CASEing SpeedyStamper (Kay Kalthoff). What an awesome gallery!! You'll see that I've CASE'd the layout from this card of Kay's. Isn't it a cool one with the torn edges and the circle that looks like it's suspended from that ribbon?
This was actually my second attempt at CASEing this layout of Kay's. Here's the first:
The sentiment circle is created with a border from the Special Occasions DIY Monogram Stamper Kit and the Brayton Font Ensemble, both from JustRite Stampers.
Hope you've had a wonderful week so far! Happy Hump Day!

Oh I just love these! I love the way you mix colors. I never think to put pink and green together. I am inspired! (as usual)
Beautiful! LOOOOOOVE it! :)
I have been a bag blog reader and hadn't been able to get down to the "p"s on my alphabetical list for some time now. :) LOL
I totally fell in love with your layout on these cards, particularly how you used the vellum on the second one! I have vellum but never use it so this really excited me! (ok doesn't take much, LOL) Anway, I've made 7 similar cards using these layouts so far. I already have other things scheduled on my blog for this week but my 7 cards will be on my blog this weekend or next week - I'll definitely link to you for the inspiration! THANK YOU!
