Happy Friday! I wanted to mix things up for you a bit, so I inked this Primative Beginnings set that I bought over a year ago. It was so new, I had to cut the stamps apart.
I cut the white background paper to 5″ x 5″ and stamped out the image with Versafine. Next, I sponged colour onto the paper and coloured the house with Prismacolor pencil crayons. The surrounding decorative paper is a sheet of watercolour paper that I cut to 6″ x 6″ and did the distress ink technique. Finally, I painted a star chipboard and adhered it to my card with a pop dot and added the sentiment.
On the renovation front, my granite counter tops are being installed as I write this. Again, I got a “These are live colours.” He added, “These colours were painted where ever I went in Jamaica.” Guess I won’t need to spend the money to go on vacation then–I can kick back with a pina colada right here in my own livingroom! Hmmm, I wonder if I can find a bathing suit in these Jamaican colours.
