I stamped more today and actually completed two cards! Maybe the Mayans were off a bit and today is actually the day the world will end?! We'll see I guess...there's a few more hours left. ;) For my second card I combined these fun challenges from Fab Friday and colourQ.
When I first sat down to work on this I almost didn't pick that set of colors from colourQ. Is it just me or is Certainly Celery bright?! I sure miss my Pear Pizzazz. Blushing Bride too! I need to pull those guys out and use them since I was determined I wouldn't quit just because they were retired. If you haven't already noticed, I LOVE mixing embossing folders on my cards and I managed to get in 4 of them on this one. I don't know what it is, but I always feel compelled to use a bunch of them. Do you do that too? It might end up being too much sometimes, but that doesn't seem to stop me!
Look at her being a big girl and sitting up playing. One day she couldn't do it and then bam! she was an old pro at it. It's just so amazing, but so crazy how fast she keeps learning things and growing up!
Your daughter is just a doll! Your card is amazing--LOVE the dry embossing and the elements you used! Just gorgeous! I hope you have some time to join us this week at Inkspirational and this month at Technique Tuesday--I'd love to see what you do with our challenges! :)
ReplyDeleteso pretty!! thanks so much for sharing your card with us at the ColourQ!!
ReplyDeleteLove those embossed hearts! There can never been too many embossing folders in my opinion! Great card! Thanks for sharing with us at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe embossed hearts are FAB! I'm getting an embossing machine for my niece's BD, and this is the perfect sample for how to maximize its use. Love your daily dose of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use multiple embossing folders. It gives such a fun effect. Thanks for playing at Fab Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...love that you embossed each heart. Yes, the green is bright but you used it in a wonderful way so it's just a touch and perfect! Pink and Brown have always been great together!
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention Laila's picture...isn't it amazing how they figure things out - a whole new world is opening to her now....lol, and to you and your sweetheart!
