A toast

...to the year that passed and to the new year ahead!

And yes, I do realize that she's tipsy.  I mean, literally - the image is crooked.  Darn it.

Anywho, I wanted to use an image appropriate for the New Year, or even an birthday, so I went with Cocktail Emily from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.  Ain't she just a doll?  The beautiful paper that you see in the background is from the BasicGrey Curio 6x6 Paper Pad.  BasicGrey really hit a home run on these last few releases because this pad, like the Jovial pad, is just jammed packed with such gorgeous papers.

Emily was colored with Distress Reinkers with Small Koi Water Brush.  Her umbrella was glitzed up with Viva Decor Copper Pearl Pen.  The olives (I'm going to think that they're olives instead of bubbles) in her martini were dotted with the Viva Decor Kiwi Pearl Pen.  The die is from Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10.  The ribbon is from my recently-ballooned ribbon collection from May Arts.

A sketch challenge at Sentimental Sundays

Hello everyone! Are you ready to get sentimental?

This week at Sentimental Sundays, we have a fantastic sketch for you to try out!  The sketch was done by one of our new DT members, Dorcas.  It was a great sketch to work with.  Very versatile!  For my creation, I laid off of the flowers (which I've been going CRAZY with these past few days) and went for a cleaner look.  I used two different ribbons, one on top of the other, and tied it in a bow.  Oh my goodness, it took me FOREVER to tie these ribbons, and they still don't look all that great, but I was done messing with it and got frustrated.  It turned out okay, but it could have been better : /

I'm not sure which challenge it was for, but I recently won a $15 GC at the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps store.  I hardly ever win any challenge prizes!  I've actually been admiring this image (Fall Charlotte) for a while now and I was SO delighted when I found out that I won!  I picked up two other stamps, which I can hopefully ink up soon.  The Thanksgiving sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps Holiday Postmarks sentiment set, which was one of the first rubber sentiments I ever designed for Whimsy :)
