Hello everyone! It's Friday!! I haven't posted much at all this week - I've posted a couple of updates on my social media (Facebook and Instagram are my main ones, I am on Twitter but still haven't figured out what all I'm doing on there yet LOL) regarding my dental issues.
I had a root canal yesterday, and it's looking like it'll take me a couple of days to be back to normal. Right now I'm on pain meds still and REALLY sore. But the main appointment was done and now I get to figure out how I'll find the time (and $$) for all the future appointments needed as this was just the beginning sadly! I'm all about figuring it out though.
That said, the pain and pain meds and stress and anxiety took a toll. This week was rough, and made it really difficult to get any work done. I still have giveaways planned, and deadlines and projects due and all that fun stuff. So stay tuned! I did finally get my card made for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
There's still time to play along if you'd like - you can check out the CTD blog post HERE <-----click! to see what the rest of the team created and to play along too!
Here's what I came up with:
I used Honey Bee Stamps Ten Things stamp set - it has these 3 great feather images in the set that I stamped onto white card stock with grey ink.
I then heat embossed the Large Thanks stamp onto vellum with Avery Elle's Rose Gold embossing powder, trimmed it out with scissors and adhered it to the panel with some of my favorite Darice foam strips.
It's almost impossible to capture the sparkle in a picture (you can see it better in the video) but I added Spectrum Noir's Clear Sparkle overlay to the feathers for a bit of "pop"!
I finished off the inside of the card with a sentiment I built from stamps in the Honey Bee Thanks and Giving stamp set. I stamped that in the same grey ink then stamped the feathers (again I had trouble getting a decent pic of it) with the same Insulation Pink shade as the card stock. It's so subtle but it's there, and that finished off the card!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
