I have the plague, or at least something closely resembling it ... okay, it's really just a bad cold. But, it's wearing me out and I needed to make a birthday card. It needed to be simple, since this cold has robbed me of all creative ability. So, I grabbed Fun and Fast Notes and my watercoloring box. The cake is painted with Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Twinkling H2Os, and Liquid Metal, with glitter glue added to the flames. The brilliant blue Twinkling H2O is almost an exact match to Tempting Turquoise so I used that for the background, with Groovy Guava as an accent. The ribbon is from the Sherbet Ribbon Originals.
I bought the Pretties kit last summer but have barely touched it. The flowers and pearls and beads are so pretty they intimidate me. But, this needed something, and the beads on the hatpin seemed like the perfect touch. (I did say simple, not plain.) Now I need to find some bubble wrap to pad the envelope I'm mailing it with. It's a good thing I bought some $.17 stamps, I know this one will need the surcharge!
I placed my personal Sale-a-bration order at 12:17 a.m. mountain time on the 1st. UPS says it will be here Tuesday. I can't wait! And the Sale-a-Bration sets are die cut, I'll be able to play right away. Hopefully I won't have too many tax returns to do this week! Have you decided what Sale-a-Bration sets you need yet?
