Hung up on Lindsay

Har har! I couldn't seem to wrap my head around a card this week, so I decided to go a different way this week.


I made a little ... wall hanging. (Though Chloe thinks I should hang it on her doorknob.) I used an 8x8 piece of glittery paper from My Mind's Eye. Then I used a piece of thin cardstock from the scrap basket it is actually pink on one side and red on the other. I tore the cardstock, then gave the very edges a light run with a water brush. After that, I rolled the edges up a little to get that fun dark red pulled in for some more contrast. I colored this gorgeous owl (go HERE to buy it) with copics. Now, I have to apologize for my crap photography. The dots and swirls are all kind of poofy and glittery and you can't see it. I also used white rub-ons to write " whooo loves you? i do! " on there, but of course - not a single bit of that shows up. (oh, and I also added some cute flower & heart rub-on's peaking out from behind the image) Sigh. It was hard enough getting the cute little heart ribbon to stand up (I ended up snipping a tiny hole in the top of my light box fabric and used a piece of white thread to tie the ribbon to the top of the light box.
Anyhow, go HERE to check out Lindsay's shop.
Go HERE to see Lindsay's FANSTAMPTASTIC blog.
Go HERE to see the links of all the other Design Team folks. (They are also linked in Lindsay's blog post today.)
Don't forget that Lindsay has her buy 5 get one free deal. Oh, and she's on MyGrafico - but I don't remember the link... it's on her blog though - and since you're going to stop by there, I don't need to give it to you again!
enjoy every moment (and then scrapbook the really funny ones... that's what I've been messing with instead of blogging... )

Adorable Diana! Subtle details are always hard to capture - at least for me and my camera! But, once i clicked on the photo to enlarge it, I could see the rub-ons - at least some of them. :)

Love this wall hanging. I started one once, but I seem to have "lost" it somewhere in my craft room.

Oh that's a great wall hanging. I've actually taken a card and framed it, lol. It's something different.

Your coloring is awesome and I love the paper and overall color tone is perfect.

PS: I'm with you on scrap/stamp instead of blogging, lol....
