Good morning! Well, we ended up with a whopping total of 23 inches of snow this weekend! LOL It was the perfect opportunity to just hang out in my craft room and I got LOTS done! I took a free background class from Tiffany Solorio and I ended up winning a paid class, I'm so excited! I am thinking I'll take the mixed media one, but I haven't decided yet. Her classes are awesome - she's amazingly talented and she has a soothing voice, which absolutely matters when you're listening to someone talk for 4 hours. LOL You know what I learned in the background class? That not every card needs to be challenge-worthy! I tend to hoard all of my backgrounds and save them for "the perfect card" but lemme tell ya, taking that restriction off myself while I created really helped! I ended up making 12 cards and a tag! Do I "LOVE" them all? No. Will I use them all? Yes!
Anyway, here's one that I feel IS challenge worthy... ;) I'd like to enter this one into the following challenges:
Inkspirational - Shades of Blue
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
Stamping Sensations - B is for.... (blue)
Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

OK so when I was cataloging my stamp sets the other day, it made me realize how many adorable stamps I have that I have NEVER INKED UP. For shame, for shame! So I kept the Sparkle Big Kit from The Greeting Farm out and played with one of the mermaids. I stamped her with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape to the die cut inlay. I created the background by mixing 2 blue shades of Lindy's Magicals on a piece of watercolor paper. I die cut the seashell and sentiment from plain white cardstock and die cut the sand dollar from a piece of text DP from Unity Stamp Co. Peace.
