Lounging with my Wonderful friends~


I wish I really was! Instead I am sitting here on the computer....:)
Joy and Cami, 2 friends of mine for a long time, launched Our Craft Lounge a bit ago. I miss both of them, we just didn't get that much time together when we were working girls at CHA. I wish we were lounging together today! This is a dual SCS challenge: the color challenge and sketch challenge.

Color Challenge
Sketch Challenge

Our Craft Lounge sets are available at the Our Craft Lounge site, eclectic Paperie's site, and many brick and mortar stores. This card uses 2 of the rubber, unmounted cling sets,Crafty Cling Whispy Patterns and Crafty Cling Whispy Blooms. Finished card is 5" x 5".

The flower background image was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored in with various Copic Markers before punching out with a 1 1/4" square punch. The punched squares were attached to a chocolate strip with dimensionals, then attached to the distressed pumpkin strip with dimensional foam. The white base was spritzed with a Summer Sun marker with the old defunct, but still perfectly usable, InkWorx Air tool. After spritzing, the completed image panel was adhered to the base. A bit of ribbon, a felt flower and the stamped sentiment from Whispy Blooms completes the card.

This card is already out in the postal system, Darlene, our carrier, just picked it up to deliver to one of my good friends to let them know I'm thinking of them today.

Oh, btw, I had a text message today from the birthday girl, she LOVED the Sweet 16 booklet from the post below.
