Sometime before we headed out to California, I was asked if I’d like to be part of a group Whipper Snapper buy. Being a true lemming, I said, “SURE!” and proceeded to say, “I’ll just have what Lori’s having.” Several fun Anna-designed images found their way into my suitcase, and I’ve just started using them. To make things fun (and to make me actually USE and not just collect), Lori asked if I’d like to try a little “I’m not calling it a challenge but let’s do something with the same stamp and the same paper” thing.
I got the first pick: Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl (which I knew Lori had just gotten from eP) and Anna’s sweet little love birds.
The image is stamped on Shimmery White with my favorite black ink, Palette Noir. I watercolored using my aquapainter and watercolor crayons, then when it was dry, added some sparkle with a Sakura Stardust pen.
Here are some details that I thought really added to this simple layout. I loved the paper with the little fleur de lis that echoed the feather tails on the birds, and thought the gingham (su!) and dotted organdy (May Arts) were perfect touches. The little “us” and “until forever” are from my stash of Making Memories tags, and I thought they worked with these sweet birds. Those are attached with silver cord and/or silver brads.
So Lori. . .what did YOU come up with, girl?
Edited to add: Here’s Lori’s beauty of a card!
(and no, I really like challenges. . . I was just trying to be funny!)
