Hippy Fun

Of course, there's work to be done, but I couldn't help but play a little tonight. I was feeling a little stressed and stamping simply for the fun of it helps me to unwind. I think it is focusing on the process at hand and seeing where it will take me is so consuming that it helps the "gotta do this, gotta do that" fade into the background

I put on a girlie movie (which turned out to be really crummy) pulled out my "Just So Hippy" set from Gina K --- that was waiting patiently for me on my desk --- and reached into a delicious new paper purchase, then opened my browser to Jen's Sketch for You To Try and got stampin'.

The hippo was stamped on confetti white paper then watercolored with Basic Grey ink for the body and regal rose for the toenails. The toenails were then coated with spica pen for a nice sparkly pedicure.

This is so cute, it almost makes me want to be late sending a card to my good friend who is just about to turn 35! But, instead, I'm going to get my big but in gear and make her something equally cute for the occasion!

Guess I should get back to work around here...

Edited to add: If you're loving the "Hippies" as much as I do, you'll want to stop by Melanie's Blog as she's running a contest right now where you can win free stamps. RUN!
