Love and bliss

March 26th, 2008

The sketch challenge over on the MFT site this week is a larg circle and then 2 smaller circles to the sides. And while I was busy thinking about all the scenes I could create in that large circle, one of my first and favorite MFT sets brought be back, “Boho blossoms”.

So I decided to use my new favorite color combo; sweet blush, soft sky and olive and get to work. I cut out the white and olive circles with my coluzzle and sponged soft sky onto the edges of the white. For the olive piece I used my corner rounder, paper piercer and white gel pen. I inked up the stamp on the edges with a regal rose marker, then pounced my sweet blush ink spot onto the stamp, then cut it out. I traced all the open parts of the heart with a clear spica pen for some shimmer and shine. The center flower of the heart is made with cotton candy stickles and white liquid pearls.

Once all the pieces were in place I started to dot around it with white liquid pearls. And then I decided to frame the ends with my dew drops.

And that is my card!

I have been filling up my shopping carts at CHF, Bella and High hopes with my fingers right over the purchase. Don’t know what I’m waiting for, I know I’ll like the stamps. I’m just afraid I’ll start adding even more companies to my addiction.

I’m sure you can understand how I feel. What are some of the companies that you have resisted? Or have you been able to resist them?

Happy Wednesday!

    This card is beautiful. Resist? What is that? Actually, I have been doing the same thing. In fact just a few minutes ago I was at Ellen’s store and I finally bought the little fruitbowl stamps that I have put in a cart probably a dozen times and the copic air brush system that I have done the same with. I just sent a check to pay my master card yesterday, so the time was right. I thought I was the only one that feels like I just can’t hold back. You get to “know” some people through the blogs, and you want to support them. Then others just have what you absolutely need. Yeah, I gotta slow down. So as I said, Resist, what is that?
