Dreaming of HOLIDAYS!…….
Hey there!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I know I say it each Friday when I upload the new challenges…..is it really Friday already? I am saying it today…..is it Thursday already! I truly can’t believe that the kids have done two weeks of school already! That is 2 down and 8 to go till they are finished their school year! Amazing! So much happens at that time of year, and well with the end of school, Christmas, School holidays…..not to mention it being summer too! Such a beautiful time of year.
Myself and Elijah have really been suffering with Hayfever this past 10 days. The medication just isn’t cutting it either. We are both walking around rubbing our noses, with puffy, blotchy red eyes and sneezes galore. It is just one of the bad sides of Spring and living in a Rural area with lots of trees, and native plants does not help one little bit!
Anyway I do have a wee little creation for you. I made this one on Sunday night, and whilst I would have loved to be stamping these past few days, I have been very busy on a totally different project which I can’t share with you just yet!
So onto this creation. It actually is last weeks colour AND sketch challenge from Splitcoast stampers. I had fun putting it together, and it really makes me think of the fun days ahead:
Don’t those cocktail glasses remind you of Hawaii! They do to me, although I think I drank more ‘BIG GULPS’ of Diet Coke than cocktails in Hawaii, when i went for my Honeymoon…..oh say 11 years ago! LOL!
Okay so the colour combination was Chocolate chip, Apricot appeal, Bermuda bay(tempting turquoise) and whisper white. At first I thought, you have got to be kidding me, that is a weird combination, but boy oh boy was I surprised! I kinda like how they look together!
I have also used the Cheers to you stamp set from Stampin’Up, as well as my crystal effects to make them look glossy. I have coloured them with my Stampin’ write markers as well. Adding some wide Chocolate ribbon, and the greeting at the top along with some paper piercing, and the card was done.
Have a great night / day and I look forward to being back tomorrow with the new Challenge and winners!
WOW, looks fantasic….I love the colours. I want a cocktail now…
Rach:)
I probably would’ve avoided the colour combo all together and not even tried it, lol. But! I love it! So refreshing
and compleeeetely understand the hayfever thing ….. had to pause through posting this message so I could sneeze my head off! Not pretty 
Keeshie - this is a great card! Your colouring on those little glasses is awesome! So glad your having some stamping time - can’t wait to see your ’secret project’!
Luv Dot
