Happy Sunday to one and all! I hope your week has started off fabulously!
We have another fantastic challenge starting today over at
613 Avenue Create. To celebrate Earth Day, we have a color scheme as the theme for this week's challenge. Such lovely colors I think, but I'm not so sure I matched them perfectly as I had hoped. Ah well, I guess that's more reason to buy more Copics and paper! Not that
I need a reason, it's that I need a supportive reason to give to my hubby LOL!
This week we are once again being sponsored by the fabulous
Rick St. Dennis. In light of Earth Day, I chose to use
Isabella Gardening for my image.
I know the angle is pretty funky. I pictured it at night and had to find a way to reduce the glare from the flash. I used flowers from my Wild Orchid Crafts stash again. And while arranging the flowers, I had a complete DUH! moment. I have been seeing all these lovely cards with wire twingies and I kept thinking to myself, I have
got to get some green wire to make them- they are so stinkin' cute! Then it hit me... Duh! I cut off the wire stem all the time! So I grabbed my wire clippings and a small paint brush and ta da! I have my own wire twingies without having to go to the store! Why on Earth did I not think of that sooner?!? Sadly I didn't have the energy to go digging through the trash I had just emptied earlier that day to rescue the others from the last few cards. But hopefully I will have enough to keep me going.
I must apologize- I've been a bit preoccupied as of late and very distracted. I didn't make note of the paper or the Copics I used, and have forgotten to take a closer picture of the image. I've already donated the card to Jordan's school for their Earth Day celebration, so I am unable to quickly take more pictures.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great and I hope you have a great week ahead of you! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit. I hope to be back soon!
