A sketch that needs playing, some stamps that need inking, new paper that hasn't been cut yet! Oh man!
This stamp set "Time for the Bubbly" is one of my all time favorite My Favorite Things images, but can you believe I didn't actually have it until quite recently.
The Mojo Monday sketch for this week was just perfect for this image, and then lo and behold, my Blue Hill Crate Paper arrived from eclectic Paperie (thanks girls!)
The image was stamped onto Cryogen White paper with my Brilliance Black ink and I set it aside to dry while I worked on all my matting layers.
The carstock used here is Blush Blossom and Creamy Caramel. The two blush panels are stamped with linen background from SU then all the blush mats are paper pierced.
Once the ink was set, I colored in with my Copics adding some sakura stardust to the mirror and the bubbles for some shine. The mirror frame was stamped with creamy caramel then trimmed out and added into place with my quickie glue pen.
I added a layer of shine to the mirror with my Diamond Glaze and left it overnight to dry before assembling the full card.
My bathroom is nowhere near as luxurious as this. In fact, right now it is harboring lots of bath toys and hooded towels for the boys. Maybe this is what my bathroom can look like in, oh another 20 years, but a girl can dream right?
