Mornin' hens!
Yes I know, I've been pretty quiet for some time now huh? Well, I decided to take a little time away from blogging so I could focus on ME! While I do LOVE card making, the fun sort of ends up getting lost when it becomes expected of you. So, I've decided IF I do make a card, it will only be for birthdays, at least for this year anyway. Once I retire, I may make more then. But for now, I'm trying to eat better, exercise more and focus on feeling GOOD about myself. And you know what? I DO!! I've lost 17lbs and I feel fantastic! Anyhoo, enough about me and onto today's card.
Today is my sister Teresa's birthday. She's 60!! Whoa!!!! She's gonna love that I said that! Ha-ha! I couldn't think of a more appropriate stamp then this one, right? OMG, is she a hoot or what? Who am I kidding, she sort of looks like me when I wake up!! Pfffft!
I stamped the image onto some PTI speckled cardstock and colored her with my Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I cut the image out using my Nestabilities oval die and before removing the die, sponged some chalk ink around the edges. You can see a tutorial of this technique HERE. Then I cut a scalloped frame from some cute DP and mounted the image to it using foam tape. I printed the sentiment using my FABULOUS Canon printer and adhered it to some coordinating DP with two small brads. To finish, I tied some pink and white baker's twine around the card base and added some shine to her coffee cup with a Gelly Roll pen. Okee dokee, that's it for me today. I hope you hens have a FABULOUS Friday!! {{{hen hugs}}}
