Yup, I'm posting in the evening instead of early in the morning today. I had a pretty big order come in on Monday and I wouldn't stamp anything until I had everything taken care of. That means sorting all my customer orders, and me putting my paper and accessories away, getting my stamp sets put together and all my new ink pads marked and labeled...and that was after I did all the laundry and cleaning and straitening up and prepping for my two sponging classes on Friday. Let's just say I had plenty of time to think of what I wanted to work on first with one of my sets...Zoo Review. Yup, I just bought that set believe it or not. I've got a few more ideas going through my mind too, so we'll see how long it takes me to get them together. At first I was going to sponge all of this, but I just didn't want to do that much sponging. Ever since I posted Sunday about me and my brayer not getting along I've been working on it. I'd have different ideas pop into my head on how to use that thing without leaving streaks, but could never figure it out until last night. I have to say it is finally my friend after thinking it would never learn to like me...or me like it!!! I still did plenty of sponging on this card and plan to keep on doing it, but I'll be adding the brayer now on bigger areas. Like I was saying I had an idea in my mind and the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #174 fit the colors I was thinking of perfectly!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
