Hello
friends. I hope everyone is doing well. I have been having issues with joint pain; but still trying to create a few of my cards. It helps me keep my mind off of the pain. I realized I have over 100 Whimsy rubber stamps; so I am decided I need to use at least one a month going forward. I can't resist all those adorable stamps. I missed out on some of them; because I waited too long and were gone/discontinued. I wonder if I will ever be able to use them all. I have tons of digi stamps as well; but can you ever have too many? LOL!
I realize it is an addiction; but so is collecting all the fabulous paper packs and dies that I keep buying. I guess it is better to have a crafting addiction then drugs or alcohol. If I see a card created with a certain paper or stamp; I just have to have it. If I could create them as well as some of these artists I see out there. I am in awe of their work. I keep practicing; but I don't think I will ever be a natural at this; no matter how much I practice.
The colors on this card are actually better in person; but my purples just don't take very good pictures. I have a new camera and it isn't any better than the old one with the purple and pinks. This is my first time coloring blue hair; which has made me want to color all the other colors of the rainbow. The purples are actually a perfect match for the paper I used for the background; even if the picture doesn't show it to be true.
I absolutely love this new Whimsy Stamps Art By Miran "Sierra" Rubber Stamp. Isn't she precious! It is another one that I had to have. Fairies and butterflies are my biggest weakness. LOL!
