So it’s Saturday, the first day of the weekend and like normal, I’m trying to catch up with the laundry and stamp in between loads. Since I haven’t given you any stamping the last few days, I wanted to give you something new. I received a new stamp last week (actually one of many) from American Art Stamp. How appropriate that it is called Out of Money. The more I think about high school graduation, two girls in college – tuition for both, cars, car insurance, not to say anything about *rubbah*, paper, embellishments – oh my mind is just reeling!
Anyhoo, I’ve been playing some with my long-forgotten Primsa Colored Pencils this week and while they were out, I thought I would color up this image. I wanted something springy, since it’s cold here again today, grey clouds, just yucky! Thank goodness that tennis match got cancelled (I hate watching tennis in a winter coat – we should be wearing shorts, tank tops and flip-flops).
Back to the card, I stamped the image with Black Stazon on white cardstock and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils and Turpenoid. My friend, Cyndi Wheeler, sent me the most awesome white cardstock this week – I’m sure it’s probably from her share, but this paper is fabulous! There is just a little bit of sparkle to the paper and has such a pretty look and feel. I ran a piece of this new paper through the Cuttlebug using the Bloom Dots embossing folder and used it as my background. Once again, I was drawn to the simplicity of black and white and added the Pink Passion for that little pop of color!
