Hello and happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? We had a very busy Saturday, we were gone from about 9AM until 9PM. As a result, on Sunday I was completely unmotivated...to do anything :) Does this ever happen to you? I did get laundry done, but as far as my grand crafting plans that didn't happen. It was 5:00 before I even set foot in the basement. All I accomplished was assembling a card that I started last week and stamping some images I wanted to color. I wasn't feeling very inspired, that was part of my problem too. There's just not much out there that's inspiring me right now.
So, the card I started last week began with a 50% off stamp from Michaels. The hydrangea Hero Arts stamp. Do you know it? :) I love that stamp, but not $14.99 love. Only problem is, it's the end of September and hydrangeas are a spring/summer bush/flower. I thought I'd try my hand stamping the image with fall colors.
Sorry about the crooked photo here :) I decided to make this into more of a note card. I love the way this turned out on the book print with the muted ink colors (I used Cats Eyes chalk ink). I used my Nestibilities to cut around the image.
Here's a close up of the image. I think I might make some more of these note cards but without the twine and button. Might have to play around with the placement a bit.
Here's one more shot, this one shows the image really well. I just love how it looks on the text!
Well, I have a bit of crazy week again so I'm already looking forward to the weekend :) I hope you have a calm week ahead of you. Enjoy your Monday and I'll chat with you again tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by today!

ReplyDeletelove it--i use my hydrangea card all the time--over the summer I made 50 cards with this stamp!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the image stamped over the text.
ReplyDeleteI love the card, especially the stamp over the text, it looks awesome! I had the same this weekend. I was so excited to scrap in a football free zone, and I didn't get anything done (not even the laundry...) Oh well, there is always right now!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I love the image on the text also...subtle and very nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the sweet comments regarding my daughter! :)
I love the idea of the text on the stamped image.
ReplyDeleteI also like the colours :)
I'm loving stamping on text backgrounds right now. Love the colors you used. That's the best thing about stamps - you can change up the colors to make it work. Hope things slow down for you this week so you can get in some productive creative time! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card!
