Can you believe we are already wrapping up another weekend? Yea, me either... but it does mean that I've got another installment of Simple Sunday to share with you. :)
I was kinda worried about finding time to even color something up last night, simple or not. Then I remembered how I had seen Lisa create a quick and easy card using an image that she had colored up previously. Now I don't normally stamp and color before hand because I like to match my images to the colors and papers I choose for each card as I put it together. BUT I do tend to color up drawings that I'm playing around with and contemplating for possible future stamp designs to see how they would work if they make it to rubber.
So I looked through my folder of colored drawings and found little Oleander, who may become part of a 'Weird Sisters' range that I've been working on for a release closer to Halloween. Any way she made me think of the new Burtonesque challenge that started up this past week so I decided to go ahead and create a quick card for her. Now the challenge is to use stripes so right away I new where to start with the design and when I came across this old Rebecca Sower button paper I just had to tear some off and add it as well. From there I raided the neglected metals drawer and found another metal rim tag as well as a sentiment... score! And the flowers were conveniently left on my desk from a previous card. All in all I was cutting it close to my 20 minute mark by deciding to trim Oleander out but I just got this one done under the wire! :)
Oh and sorry for the not so great photo quality... it was tricky getting the lighting to not show the metal sentiment as a black shadow that totally got lost in the background. Sigh... they always look better in person don't they?
Ok, I'm outta here... catch ya later!
