More is More

After finishing the Stamp Room portion of my clean sweep project at almost 9:00pm last night I just had to reward myself with a little stamping.  I came across so many stamps and sets when putting stuff away that I want to play with.  I decided to try a quick card with this previously un-inked Elzybells image along with some Summer Picnic designer paper from SU.  Of course it got late and Beaker was begging for Nite Nite (literally  – my Red Fronted Macaw  says *night night night* and if we don’t put them in their cages at that point he starts screaming), so I had to finish it up this morning.

I colored the image with Copic markers and added some kindergarten style leaves to the tree branch.  LOL!  I cut and embossed the image with a rectangle Nestabilties and then cut the mat with a scallop nesties.  I wanted to try something fun with the ribbon at the bottom so I got out some punches and started playing.  I ended up layering the two SU ovals and punching out a hole with the slot punch to bring the two ribbons through and tied a knot.  I used a white gel pen for the dots on her dress, the dots around the oval and the dashes around the red mat.  Embellishments are Adorn It Jewel droplets and K& Co. pearls both from eclectic Paperie.

It’s still crunch time here, so I need to run.  I’ll post when I can.  Be sure to check in on Sunday – the 20th is always the Dirty Dozen Gallery Reunion.  Thanks for stopping by.
