Saturated Canary Love – in camo?

Happppppy hump day! I hope your week’s proceeding well…mine’s gone sideways, which is about normal for a Wednesday! One of these days I’ll learn not to put so many irons in the fire at the same time!

Today’s lil card is showing off a tidbit of coloring I got to do – yes, some just for fun coloring. It seems like tons of what I’ve been working on lately has been for big projects….like the one I can’t tell you about yet! It’s killin’ me more than it’s killin’ you, believe me Anyway…..Not sure why I went camouflage with her colors, but I did! I used some Studio Calico paper from the HeyDay collection (the background) and then wanted to pull out more of the olive color in the background and her dress. There wasn’t more olive in the SC 6×6, so I jumped over to My Mind’s Eye…Stella Rose seems to always have something I need! So the green and the snippet of patterned paper on the left are from the Hazel grouping.

Copic colors – Skin E51 E11 BV000 RV91 RV06 FB2 for those intense eyes. Hair and shoes V25 C6 C8 black; outfit YG99 YG97 YG95 YG11 E31 E34. 

Have an amazing second half of the week…I’m stoked about the bloghop coming up this weekend and it’s keeping me motivated to last through the workweek!

Dear Mother Nature…

This buzzard has a message. For Mother Nature. He wishes she’d CHILL OUT. No more twisters, please.

His sentiment is…kinda like an order. Who’s going to disobey a buzzard? Can Mother Nature ignore him? I sure hope not. I’m getting tired of disasters – manmade as well as natural. *sigh*

May Arts twine, paper by Authentique, button punch by Martha Stewart. Sentiment by SRM stickers. Buzzard, of course, by the hilarious folks at Art Impressions.

Happy Monday, eh? I need more of a weekend! Yeesh. I did get a lot done, but my to-do list ain’t to-finished yet. Phooey!

So…is this for a guy to send to his girl? Or vice versa? lol. The stamp and sentiment are from MFT, one of the fundraiser sets I bought. Not sure how much I’ll use this one though…we’ll see!

Copic colors R89 R37 G07 YG25 YG11 B52 B41 R51 E95 BV000 Y35 Y08 Y04 – Paper is by Authentique I believe; it was donated, just some loose sheets, but the striped “end” on the paper matches all the Authentique pads I own….so I’m guessin’.

Happy Mail

It’s so easy to make a card to appreciate our heroes This simple card uses some Coredinations paper, sanded, a Stampendous Eagle stamp, a little May Arts 2 sided ribbon…and a star. WIth some paper layers, what could be more perfect?

Stay tuned…perhaps, oh, next week or so….for a coloring tut with this eagle. Maybe. If I have time. It’s my plan to do one for the big bloghop – and I’m hoping it comes together quick like a bunny! Or an eaglet. Coz I’m running short on time!
