The colors look great together, but I was unsure if I could pull something off that I actually liked. Especially since I feel like I'm out of practice and my mojo is apparently on vacation. But then I saw Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday challenge and I had an Idea.
Admittedly I changed my mind a couple of times about what stamps I was going to use as I was putting this together, but I'm happy with how the end result turned out.
The So Saffron DP is from the Sweet Pea pack. (Seriously, I have so much of this paper, I'll be old and gray before I ever use it all up)! The friend sentiment is from Simple Friendship and while I was originally going to use the butterfly from the same set, I ended up going with the one from Great Friend. I inked it first in So Saffron then sponged it lightly with Riding Hood Red. Then I heat embossed it with clear EP before I cut it out. A few pearls down the center and I was done!
Not too shabby for a sunny Saturday morning. I think I might stick around in my stamp room for while longer today to make sure my creative juices keep flowing. Thanks so much for stopping by!
