Watching the Wedding

Yes, I'm up at 5 a.m. when the coverage started (I think) to watch the Royal Wedding. I'm kind of a sucker for that kind of thing. All the pomp and circumstance, fun.
So yesterday I did a bit of cleaning and made a bunch of cards...it was a day in the studio that I really needed...I always feel better when I get that studio time. I wish people around me would get that...I don't think most of them do. I know its because most of the people around me don't get the same dep satisfaction being in the studio and creating...I must create, its like a part of me. Always have been that way, even if its not in the studio.
So what shall I show you today?
So here-s a card I made yesterday that I love! Its so mch fun. I started with a green background and used some green Adirondack ink to stamp the word Hello (Stampotique). I twice stamped te Daffodil girl (also Stampotique)- once on white paper and once on yellow designed paper-though you can't really tell. I colored both, and used the head from the plain once and the body from the printed paper one. Anyhow, I first put down some tape, then glued this great girl down. A little baker's twine, some flowers with yellow Dimensional paint centers...cute and fun. She looks like she's waving...(maybe a little royal wave-LOL)
Thanks for stopping by!
