Smiley from millan.net Holy cow this week has sure gone fast! Of course, I did sleep most of the week away and that might have something to do with it. Thursday was a good day without any naps so I must have caught up and I’m feeling so much better.

Since today is Friday that means that it’s also the Just For Fun® Friday Color Challenge. I really enjoyed working with the colors this week. At first I thought ewwwww what can I do . . . and then it all just came together.

Rita a/k/a Smiley from millan.net challenged us this week to use

JFFCC12

Okay, okay I know you’re saying ewwwww, but trust me . . . . give them a try! I think you’ll be surprised. We would love to have you play along with us!  You don’t have to use Just For Fun® stamps, especially if you don’t have any yet.  However, if you do play along, you might just be the lucky winner of a 25% Discount so you can go shopping!   All you have to do is make a card/project using the above colors and post a direct link using Mr. Linky on the Just For Fun® Blog.

Here’s my card!

JFFCC12May21

I incorporated a few of the techniques that I learned from Wendy Vecchi last weekend. You might also recognize this sketch from Wendy’s book, “make art, studio 490 style II”. I was fascinated by her project on page 16, “you must believe.” I changed the design up to fit what I was working on, but left the general sketch as it was.

Hopefully you can see in this picture, the white shadow of the Wildflower Silhouette.

That’s one of the things I learned last weekend, stamping in white pigment and then inking over the top of it. When I had finished I felt the image was just a little to light and needed the extra pop of block to stand out on the card. Lots of over stamping using a variety of JFF backgrounds. What can I say . . . it was just way too much fun!

Now that you’ve been inspired by my card Smiley from millan.net, you should visit the other JFF Designers to see what they’ve done. Everyone has had a different take on the colors and you’ve just got to check them out.

Here’s my card for the challenge:

 JFFCC11May13

I inked the tag with the Wrinkle Free Distress using Crushed Olive, Broken China and Mustard Seed Distress Inks.  The grid background was stamped and then I misted some Gold Perfect Pearls mixed with water to dilute the ink and add some shimmer to the tag.  The sentiment is stamped on the bottom half of the tag I cut off.

Good morning!  I don’t know what happened to me yesterday, but I had a great day in the studio and got some fab things done.  I was on a roll yesterday altering one of my Goodwill finds.  I might have paid $1.75 for this box.

Graphic45BoxORIGINAL

I added some Graphic45 Fashionista paper and made one of my paper flowers to put on top. 

Graphic45BoxOUTSIDE

I just received Heart Wings this past week and couldn’t resist using it for the inside.  The wings were painted white and then coated with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint.  The layers of the heart are separated with foam mounting tape.

Graphic45BoxINSIDE

I added 4 black beads to the bottom for feet . . . and there you have it . . . from trash to treasurer, a keepsake box!

Thanks for stopping by and remember to enjoy the adventures that come your way . . . life is too damn short!
