Happy Friday, everyone! Ahhh...the weekend...another rain-soaked weekend....is upon us! Blessedly, today is supposed to be sunny so I'll enjoy it while I can! I had a chance to play with some new SU goodies yesterday! I used the Freshly Made Sketches sketch and the colors from Color Throwdown for my card:
And here we go:
This new set is called Sitting Here and it has the sweetest images....I love this porch swing! I was not sure if the top color of the palette was pale pink or tan, so I took artistic liberty and went with tan....Crumb Cake, in fact! I stamped my images in Memento Black and colored them with an aquapainter and reinkers in shades of Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate:
I added some Strawberry Slush twine and a Regal Rose scalloped border. I also cut out the pillows and "puffed" one of them by contouring it with the end of a stylus from the back. It gives it a cute little dimension in real life! Finally, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set and added a Smoky Slate "hello" diecut from the Greetings thinlets. Thanks for visiting today!
After a bath, Cassidy had her favorite lunch....croutons, tomatoes, salad and cheese with ranch dressing! She was giggling because her crouton looked like a boot!! She's got imagination!
Enjoy your day!
