Simply Said
Today's card is another one that uses the dragging an ink pad technique. We made it last night at Make-It-Monday. This is the second or third dragging technique we have done and I think they are getting more comfortable with it. This card comes from another demonstrator's site, Bonnie Stamped.
Ever since Hanna moved into her first apartment and decorated with this yellow and gray color scheme I have loved it. I don't use it very often, but the Darling Duckling is the perfect shade of yellow! I guess I have two years to make the most of it since it is and In Color. I started with a Darling Duckling card base and added a layer of Basic Gray to it. I embossed the biggest Basic White layer with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card. I embossed the smaller piece of Basic White with the Sunflower 3D embossing Folder and then drug the Basic Gray ink pad down the debossed side of the cardstock. This is so the ink shows up on the background of the design and the design shows through white. I adhered it to the Basic Gray strip and finished building my card.
It has been a busy and weird three days around here. Saturday I was up bight and early to go get two of the grandkids to tailgating and to the ball game Saturday night. We did not get home until 11:30. Sunday they wereup petty early so we went for breakfast before taking them back to Grinnell to meet Hanna and Jake. Yesterday when I woke up one of my toes was bright red and swollen and very sore. I knew it was hurting in the night and keeping me awake but I didn't get up to look at it. I decided I should probably have it looked at so I went to a Quick care Clinic. They had no idea what was going on, but put me on an antibiotic and told me to be cure and show it to my oncologist when I go to my appointment tomorrow. It doesn't hurt as bad today but is still red and swollen so I am trying to keep it elevated as much as possible. Guess I am back to making swaps in my recliner!! Always something!!
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
