Mornin' y'all! Well, it's morning here for another 22 minutes at least. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, ran a couple of errands, and now I'm back at the house waiting for our new furniture to be delivered while I eat a piece of pumpkin pie. We tossed most of the Thanksgiving leftovers yesterday but I couldn't give up the last of the pumpkin pie or the sweet potato casserole. The hubs ate the last of the apple pie yesterday.
Anyway, a card!
This *should* have been a very quick-and-easy card, but I could NOT get a good impression on the greeting stamp (and it's the *only* stamping on the whole card!). I had wanted it stamped on the card front but it didn't look good, so then I stamped it several more times on scrap paper, cleaned the stamp, stamped more times, and after wasting like half a sheet of white cardstock I finally gave up. And that, my friends, is why I much prefer red rubber stamps to photopolymer. But they keep making images that I *like* only in photopolymer. Grr.
Anyway, I used the latest challenge from Inspired By...:
And for good measure I used the sketch too:
It was fun choosing different colors for the presents; I had written down "bright pastels" when I jotted down the challenge parameters before I went up to my craft room. I used Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Parakeet Party, Coastal Cabana, and Blushing Bride. Wish we still had a nice baby pink that wasn't so peachy like Petal Pink. I miss Powder Pink...
Anyway, guess I'll see if I can get anything useful done while I wait for the furniture people. Cheers!
