Thinking of You....

Happy Friday!!  Are you all ready for Christmas?!  I'm happy to say I'm done my shopping aside from groceries, but I know hubby will be willing to go to the grocery store & Costco this weekend - yes I'm lucky he doesn't mind crowds!

So Em decided to add a week of Bellariffic Fridays challenges - and this weeks theme was "Thinking of You".  When I was making this card I thought it wasn't going to get done because instead of bringing my water in a water bottle (also known as an adult sippy cup) I just brought a glass and you can guess what happened - yep 3/4 of my desk under water.  Miraculously it didn't go on any of the papers I had cut for the card.


For my card I used Uptown Girl Perry and her laptop (very similar to mine, except mine has different fruit!) and the sentiment is from Matilda on her swing.  The image is stamped with versafine black ink onto watercolour paper then coloured with a combo of distress makers, tombows (for a pop of colour) and faber castell gelatos.  The laptop is paper pieced on and is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest cream cs and coloured with copics, then I added some shine with a glaze pen.  The shading around the image is done with distress inks (walnut and antique linen)  I added some tiny rhinestones for the buttons on her shoes and pants.


The dp is EP's Everyday Eclectic.  When I was making this card I thought it wasn't going to get done because instead of bringing my water in a water bottle (also known as an adult sippy cup) I just brought a glass and you can guess what happened - yep 3/4 of my desk under water.  Miraculously it didn't go on any of the papers I had cut for the card.  I can say that on side of the 6x6 pattern paper package is a little rippled but I do have a clean desk!

I decorated the inside of the card again using the the dp and razzleberry fizz cs.  The flower is Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Flower Garland.  The banner is MFT's fishtail stax die-namics
