This has been the longest, most tiring week I've had in a long time! All 3 of my kiddos got a nasty flu bug...back, to back, to back! And my hubby was gone for two days of it...waaaahhhh :( I'm really hoping everyone is on the mend and we all get some good rest this weekend. 3-5 hours of sleep at night just isn't quiet enough for this momma!
Ok, enough of me crying...LOL! I got up this morning and told myself I was going to make the best of what ever today brought, no matter what! So far, things are looking good. I haven't had to clean up any sickie messes, it's almost 50 degrees out AND the sun is shining. That makes for a pretty good day if you ask me! Since I kept the big boys home from school today, I had a little extra time this morning, and of course I used it for some stamping! With some spring inspiration over at The Friday Mashup, a great sketch from Fab Friday and bright color inspiration from the latest Muse challenge, I was able to put together a "Bloomin' Marvelous" card!
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Gray, Basic Black, Pool Party, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Neutrals Collection DSP Stack
Ink ~ Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade
Stamp Set ~ Bloomin' Marvelous
Other Supplies ~ Top Note Bigz, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Rhinestones, Pool Party Bakers Twine, Pool Party Embossing Powder
I wasn't sure about all of these colors together at first, but once I got it all together, I kind of liked how it turned out. I heat embossed the Pool Party flowers...I love them on the black paper! Can I just say that I am going to be super sad when Pool Party is gone...it's one of my FAVORITES!
Wishing you all a great {and healthy} weekend!
Happy Friday and Happy Stamping!
