...keeps me from blogging! My cousin and her daughters were in town this week, so I've been off playing with them a bit... I did make a couple of cards before then, though. The first is another card for the Virtual Stamp Night challenges - this one was to use a map or map stamp on a card:
I brought out another Stampingbella Uptown Girl for this one - Molly Makes a Detour. She's colored with Bic and Prismacolor markers and fussy-cut, then mounted on the card with foam tape. The card base and the mat behind the sentiment (which is included with Molly) were colored with one of the markers, as none of my cardstock matched well enough.
The other card is for the Queen for the Day challenge that I take turns hosting - yesterday was my turn, and here's my card:
The image is one of my digital stamps (you can find it under the RandomBliss Digital heading at the top of the page), colored with Bic and Prismacolor markers. The cardstock is Stampin'Up! So Saffron, and the polka dot paper is from their Petals and Paisley collection. I used their Petite Petals punch, an EK Success punch and some mini brads for my flowers. The card is a CASE of this one by our Queen Jane (jbracht):
I decided to leave off the punched lower edge and sentiment and, since my flowers were smaller than her apples, I added another one...
I still have two more cards to make for VSN, but we're going to go partying for St. Patrick's Day today, and I think the deadline is tonight, so that may or may not happen... Apparently, Henderson (a suburb of Las Vegas that our neighborhood is a part of) hosts quite the celebration. They expect something like 50,000 people to attend the 2-day event, coming from Utah and California and Arizona, in addition to the local folk - who knew?! Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!
Wow, I had to check the header and make sure it was really you! Seems like you're making lots of cards lately, even if it doesn't seem like it to you. Love the 'Molly Makes a Detour' and the map background! For some reason mao backgrounds are one of my favorites but I can't say I've ever done one. Sounds like you're foot loose and fancy free though .. enjoy your company and the upcoming party too!
