Mornin' y'all! How's your week going? We've had a few sunny days lately which oddly seems to make it more difficult for me to get good pictures of my cards. And today's card is sunny, too!
I liked Better Days when I first saw it, but I put off buying it until it hit the retirement list at a big discount. And I keep getting the name mixed up with Picturesque from the Occasions catalog, which I bought by accident when thinking of this stamp set, so then I had to do another order to get this one : p Anyway, I used this week's sketch from the Paper Players:
I had to go through quite a few stamp sets to find a sentiment that was narrow enough to fit in the space on my card, but Peekaboo Farm had a couple of good options.
The Inkspirational challenge influenced my choice of patterned papers:
Got my dots and stripes on there thanks to the color family DSP. I have to say, the color family DSP in the current catalog (well, current for a couple more days anyway) is probably my favorite ever. I bought every single color family and when some went on sale, I bought extras.
Next up is the Global Design Project theme challenge:
Playing in the Rain would have been a good stamp set for this challenge too, but I wanted to ink up Better Days so I went for sunshine. And last but not least is the As You See It color challenge:
Seems like Gorgeous Grape doesn't show up on too many color challenges so this was fun. I used Grape for the outline stamp and the sentiment, and the other colors to fill in the image.
Time to get the kiddo out to the bus stop and today I will be organizing my 12x12 cardstock. I bought a LOT when it went on sale thanks to the color refresh, so I need to get that put up and ready for us to have our house packed out in under a month. Have a great day, peeps!
