...and it's another fabulous day here too! Not quite as warm as yesterday, but still lots of sunshine and another "flip flop" kidn of day for me!
After doing all the weekend chores, I am now back in my craft room and working on some cards. I had planned to try to color today with my Prismacolor Pencils using the Gamsol technique, but silly me, I had read that you could use Goo Gone was an alternative and since I was reluctant to use Gamson, I went with that idea! BAD Idea, it did NOT work and was a bust. And now I don't have any Gamsol, I will have to break down and order some today! This is when I really WISH I loved closer to a craft store....! Grrr! If anyone has any other suggestions of what I can use as an alternative to Gamsol ("Odorless Mineral Spirits") -- Please post me a comment and let me know! Thanks!
After that disaster, I decided to work on my card for this weeks' Challenge at Magnolia Down Under. If you want to join in, then please HOP on over to their NEW Challenge Blog, which is NOW at this link - CLICK HERE! This week is Challenge 36 and it's -- 3 Papers, 3 Flowers, 2 Buttona and 1 Bow and I have ALL that a bit more on my card -- Here is my Hugs - Friendship Card --
On top of the "bling" required I also added some little "pearl" gems to the lower corner of my card and also on top of the dark blue buttons. I used 3 of the wonderful Mini Prima Roses in a dark blue and added a hint of Glitter to make them Sparkle. My Magnolia Stamp is Happy Tilda, which I love. If you don't have one yet, please let me know, because I HAVE two...! Yup! My Fibro fog set in again and I bought TWO of the same image...and I've done this "far" too man times! I think I'll probably give it away as Blog Candy at some point, but if anyone wants to buy it or trade for another Tilda, I'm open to a swap. It's brand new, unused and sealed in the original package.
I'm off now to try and practice my coloring and I guess I shall have to break done and order some form of Gamsol too!
Happy Crafting!!
