Hi, hi, hi! Happy National Scrapbooking Day! Happy Boy's/Children's Day! and Happy Free Comic Book Day! Wow, lots of special events going on today! You know that if you go to a participating book/comic book store, you can get a free comic book? Even our local library participates so we usually go there to get one for each of our kids. Just Google it!
Okay, I'll try to talk more about my card today. I haven't played with my SOG stamps in a really long time. I really love the 2 new Nouveau Girls stamps, Renew and Royal. I love their dresses and their hair! So I kind of had to get them. Hehe. And I got them just in time to participate in
SOG's May Sketch Challenge.
I decided to stamp up Renew first. I love her dress so much! I think I could've done her hair better but I still think she is pretty. And my daughter actually thought she was pretty too and she rarely hands out those kinds of compliments. I colored her in with Copics first then I looked around for some matching paper. So I kind of lucked out that I found this pretty floral one. Yeah, I don't know why but that's the way I've been doing cards lately. Coloring first and then trying to find matching paper. Kind of backwards.
The flowers and sentiments are also from the stamp set. I cut out the flowers and added pearls in the center after I added some pink with my Copic. There's a little bit of ribbon behind there. I also love that these are clear stamps--you can easily see where you're stamping and can curve the sentiment to follow the circle.
I'm also entering this in
Oozak's Challenge #2 -- Spring Colors. Hope it's spring-y enough.
And at last I'm almost done with Catching Fire. Just about 20 pages to go. Only took me about a week though my daughter read it in 2 days. Well, more like 4 hours! Two hours a day and she was done! Oh, I better end here so I can finish reading and I have an early day tomorrow even though it's Saturday. No sleeping in. Sad face.
Thanks for reading!
