The Bad and the Good

Posted on | July 24, 2008 | 27 Comments |

I am, again, hi on caffeine. Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to do anymore late night coffee drinking? Oh well… I had Wednesday night card night with my upline. Had a fabulous time and I’ll share those cards with you later.

Right now, since it’s almost 3 a.m., I just want to share this one that I did using Kristina Werner’s colors: rose red, regal rose, sage shadow, and whisper white. I LOVE these Giggles Thickers. So so cute!!

Material: Paper from Stampin’ Up!, ribbon is a Martha Stewart line, font is American Craft and the word “you” is my own original {::SMILES}.

I like the card above… that’s my submission for this challenge but before I got to that, I had to arrive at this first (a disaster, btw). I thought I’d color ya know. So I used my SU water colors, blender pen, and my markers for the leaves. I like the flower. BUT, when it came time to plopping it on the card, it looked horrible. So, since I already worked hard on the flower, I went ahead and glued it one with dimensionals on rose red paper. Nothing looked good for the sentiment so I had wrote it. I don’t like it. It looks weird.

Ok, coffee wearing off… plus I have to get up in 3.5 hours. I do well under little sleep though… I know that one day it’ll catch up to me. One day, but not today, ha!

Have a great day everybody! More later!!!

I think both of these cards are great. The coloring on your flower is excellent, in my opinion. I think I will have agree with everyone else, your handwriting is awesome!

Very nice. The Huge Flower Card is a scroll stopper. I just got this stamp with my preorder and have next to make anything with it. I love the way you’ve got it bleeding off the edge of the card. I will definitely be doing this in the future. Also I’d like to second Crystal’s comment, “your handwriting IS awesome!” Thanks for the inspiration.

The bottom one is not a disaster!! Don’t be so mean to yourself! But I do like the top one best, but that has nothing to do with you, I’m just not a fan of that flower stamp – you colored it beautifully!

I loved working wiht these colors didn’t you?!!

Savitri, I love both your cards. My favorite is the little Hi card. I love the layout,different layers and size it’s really sweet.. The flower card is pretty as well.
