It's August already, can you believe it??!!My time truly flies nowadays doesn't it? Not only am I back in full swing at school (we've had last week off due to Siggraph which is a huge CG&Animation convention) I'm also working on my portfolio because I have to have that ready at the end of the month (so I can apply to my school's 2 yr program in the fall)...oh and on top of that I have to have time for stamping...this is a busy month for me.
So with that being said let's chat cards a little:
It's Saturday and Jen has another great and versatile sketch for you all.
I decided to make a peek-a-boo window for my Shimmer Redkelp and Otto. These cuties are by Sweet November btw.I've been doing quite a bit of colorful stamping this week, most of which I can't show you yet so I decided it was time for another subtle, dreamy monochromatic card so there you have it.
I added some Floral Wrapper, furry Jute Twine and messy stitching for texture. Oh and I also just got a Crop-a-dile Big Bite soo of course I had to use some Gromlets!! I also used some Gold Liquid Pearls to add little accents here and there and the adorable sentiment is from the Cat's Pajama's set A Whale of a Time.
The few patterned papers I used are from the Basic Grey Basics Manila paper pad...one of my new fave's.
