I've been looking for them for 2 days - they seem to have grown legs and walked off......however I did find a couple of things that I've been looking for since we moved (back in September ROFL!) so that was cool. Mebbe if I start hunting for something OTHER than the crochet hooks I'll find those eh? *wink*
I'm pretty sure they're in the garage with the tons off stuff I just put in there when we moved - Tim's been after me for months to get it all organized - but it's COLD!!! The garage isn't heated and just hunting for a good 20 minutes yesterday in there nearly gave me frostbite. All that stuff will have to wait for spring.
Anywho I have a cute, non-crochet related card to share today:
I just love this Fluffles stamp - is it not the cutest thing ever??? This card was one of the other ideas I had when I posted my Friday Sketch! #46 - this time using a stamped image as one of the main "hearts".
I stamped the image onto white cardstock then colored it in with my Prismacolor pencils and gamsol - thought I would use something other than Copics for once!
Plus I wanted a softer-looking image than I can get with my Copics (right now anyway - I know there are some people that can get some pretty fantastic results with their Copics - I'm not one of them!).
After the image was colored I cut it out with one of my circle nestability dies.
The patterned paper is from a retired KI Memories wedding-theme collection. I used the patterned cardstock for the card base, added the layers (one punch with a Martha Stewart flower border punch) and pierced a heart on the one side (to do that I traced a heart outline from a heart nestability die with a pencil, pierced the holes then erased the pencil).
The pink heart was die cut, then covered with Cotton Candy Stickles - this stuff isn't really "sparkly" but I LOVE the color and it adds such a neat texture.
The flower centers areOYSTER baubles from Stamping Bella - I attached them with mini glue dots.
The "To have and to hold..." sentiment is from my Love Sentiments set (SO perfect for this Fluffles image LOL!).
On the inside of the card I added some patterned paper and CS, die cut a white circle and off set it in the top right corner - opposite to the main image on the card front.
I cut out another pink heart and covered it with Cotton Candy Stickles, let it dry then adhered it to the inside and that was it!

OK I'm off to work some more on my studio. Painting is nearly done (I took an old mirror off the back of the door to discover that it had been painted around - so I've had to paint that and the closet door - such boring work but it needs to be done!) then I have to get shelves installed in the closet. I'm hoping I can have everything in by this weekend but we'll see what happens!
