I was gonna post this tomorrow and give you my wonderful news ... well
... wonderful to me ... but I am posting a little early because I
received a digital stamp I have to show you! I fell in love with it the
minute I saw it! I also knew right away what colors I was going to use
because when you see it you will realize... the ONLY colors I could use
are pink and blue! I love how it came out!
The stamp is called
Fifi and Bubbles and is from
Scrapbook Stamp Society. I used
GCD Studios Petit Blossoms - Homespun Chic by Melody Ross (scroll
down to the bottom of the page). I knew I would have to use this pretty
floral as the background paper just from seeing the tiny flowers on the
image. Thankfully... I had been hoarding the paper for just such an
occasion ... I kid you not ... what? Did you think I was hoarding it
only because it was pretty paper and I just didn't want to use it? Ha!
Right! ;) The ribbon is from Michael's and the button is from the
collection of buttons I inherited from my mom back in the late 1980s. I
was but a mere child... really ... Mere. Child. ;) I used my Copics I
currently possess and this is the first time I had this irrational
thought... I wish I had more! I wanted the colors on her to be softer
and these were the softest shades I have... I still like how she came
out though. I used my reliable
Crystal Snow from
Stampendous on the bubbles to make them glisten... and
My Paper World Paper Pen by
Viva Decor
in opal for the beads on the poodles bow and a couple of itty, bitty
rhinestones from Michael's for the required bling on the poodle's
collar... REQUIRED. Bling. :) Here is the card...
Isn't it adorable?!? Below I'm showing you a close up of the beads on the poodles bow. I love the look I achieved...
Now to tell you my wonderful news! Maybe you've noticed I am posting more and more images from
Scrapbook Stamp Society
(SSS). Well... you know that white on white challenge I had to redo
because I used the wrong stamp... SSS was hosting the challenge... they
came to my blog to see the card and discovered I used the wrong stamp!
They informed me of the my little goof and I went to fix it
immediately... in the mean time... they saw what I had going on and
OBVIOUSLY... recognize great talent when they see it! ;) lol I was asked
to be part of their Design Team! I was so excited about the invitation.
I had to give it some serious thought. So I did... for about five
seconds! Yes! Five seconds... that's all it took! First... have you seen
their stamps? There's so many of them that are wicked cute! Second...
they recognize awesome talent! ;) OK, well the first time it was great
and the second time it was awesome but how far apart are those two words
in the dictionary... other than five letters in between... they are
practically the same definition! ;) lol It is in my dictionary! :)
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are as thrilled as I am to learn of my new "promotion" in crafting world. :) Ema......
