When I saw the inspiration photo for the ColorQ challenge this week, I immediately thought of this stamp. It's one that I've had for over a year and hadn't used. Gasp! That never happens to you does it? I've used the rest of the stamps in the set, but not this one.
I had to get out my Stamp-a-majig for this one. I stamped the design twice. If you want to count the times I stamped it twice and messed it up, you'll need more than one hand! Man, oh, man, my Stamp-a-majig must keep moving or something!
When I finally got it stamped OK, I colored in the little gems with my markers. It looks like a wind chime to me. I love hearing wind chimes and have two. One is over the air conditioner so we're hearing it a lot these days.
I added a few gems and a few dots, stamped the sentiment (the first time, yeah me!), matted it onto a Poppy Parade piece cut 1/8" larger than the design piece, put it on the card and I was done.

ReplyDeleteWe're sweltering down here in SC too. Take care and stay cool! =D
Wind chimes were the first thing that came into my mind too! So pretty with the lovely white space.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Bonnie, I love the wind chime idea and you executed it perfectly! I have never used this one either, might be good for a Christmas card! Clever idea! Thanks for joining us this week at the ColourQ, so glad to see your card.
ReplyDeleteAh, such pretty wind chimes! Even if it did take many tries with the ole Stampamajig. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours! You must have been so frustrated when you had to keep re-stamping it - I'm glad you persisted as it's a lovely card.
ReplyDeleteGreat CAS card and just so pretty. Love that stamp too.

Oh, what a fab card, Bonnie. I really like that stamp you used.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how much your chimes over the a/c are chiming..wow, it's HOT.
Bonnie, this is beautiful! So perfectly CAS and colored and blinged. I think it would make a stunning Christmas card!
