I suppose, in all actuality, I have the same amount of time as every other part of the year. It's what I do with it that is different! Or maybe it just feels like time is slipping away faster than I want it to? :)
So, I have not stamped in several days, but was glad to be the guest hostess for the SCS Color Challenge today so I had to get back in the groove.
The colors I chose for today's challenge were Not Quite Navy, Pretty in Pink and Really Rust. Kind of an odd combination for me, but I love how the card turned out.
I used two images from my new July KOTM (a pocket full of...) by Unity Stamp Co.
My bird is stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black and then watercolored with the three challenge colors using an aqua brush and reinkers. The NQN panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder.
There are Crystal Stickles on the bird's body, wings, and tail, which you can see a little better here (although not much!):
You can click on either photo for a closer look.
Thanks for taking a peek and stopping by today! I know the colors are a little different, but give them a try!
