Yoo-Hoo! I am back! Whew! did you miss me?? My 3 credit, 3 week class is almost over (finished on Monday and today is Saturday). I have all my homework handed in. I will check in on the class over the weekend in case something happens that I need to know about. Anyway, I stamped last night. Boy, did that feel soooo good!
You may not know that I won 3rd place last month at Art Impressions monthly contest. I won a $20.00 gift certificate, which I promptly used. I didn't get a chance to play around with my stamps because of the university class. I did one night color in one image (see below) just to give me some sanity.
I love AI stamps, especially their humorous oldies ones. That's the line from which I got Eunice and Hollis. I did buy some more of those wacky characters.
Well the stamp contest this month is international cuisine. YIKES! I don't have anything of theirs that is even cuisine-ly related. I had a bit of time to myself yesterday after work and before picking up kiddos so I went to JoAnn fabrics and Archivers and found some embellishments. Here is my submission, please note the inside of the card. These stamps are front and back stamps and I just love them!
I used this week's Midnight Madness sketch challenge. Due to the rather large window in the middle it was difficult to put the embellishments around the edge of the circle so I hung the utensils on the shutters instead. The "bon appetit" took up the whole bottom half of the card so I was unable to put the final triangle and embellishment on the bottom corner as the sketch challenge indicates.
And here's the inside of the card.
Oh my godness...and back with a bang girl! This is the yummiest card I've seen in a while. Great job!
