Good Thursday morning! Wow I totally missed hump day all together. To be honest with you after 3 days of cleaning, moving Mallory’s stuff, etc., it really felt good yesterday to sit on my butt and let my leg and back muscles rest. They were a little sore and tired. I was still busy . . . I had plenty of phone calls to make, emails to answer and just general behind the scenes things to do. I feel a little better now that some of those chores are out of the way!
I’ve had an idea in my head for a few weeks using a sentiment stamp and I thought last night would be a good time to work on. The only thing is, once I got my idea down on paper . . . I hated it! AND to make matters worse, the little flower I wanted to add didn’t even enter into the picture. Oh well . . . . what CAN I say! Maybe the original idea will eventually make it to paper and ink.
Anyhoo, here’s the project that ended up partially the way I had envisioned it.
The papers are Webster’s Pages Postcards from Paris that were stitched to a cream background. I used the same cream then for all the other accents and the image on the card. The background of the sentiment is a floral image that I inked with both Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage, bouncing and rocking the stamp pad on the image. I didn’t want it very dark so I lightly placed in the stamp on the paper and quickly brought it back up. The sentiment is stamped in Coffee Archival ink to match the designer paper. I once again used a lightweight coaster covered in the designer paper to make my frame around the sentiment.

You have to be looking at something other than what I see. I think this is just beautiful! I love it.
