Above the Rest
(Disclaimer - I'm a bit hyped up on caffeine right now, so bear with me...) 
Talk about multi-tasking, man, I love being a woman! :) At this very moment, I'm both quilting AND blogging about one of my recent stamping creation! Got to love those XY genes! LOL
Anywho, this is a publication reject that I really just loved, and was so disappointed when it was not picked up. These are Lizzie Anne stamps, High Hellos and Sketched Sentiments, and they're probably two of my favorite LAD sets. This is a 4 1/4 square card, and the top balloon is cut out of the box.
The main image is watercolored with ink pads and an Aqua Painter. I used Lilac, Teal, and Olive, with a touch of Sky. The tag was made with the Cuttlebug, and ribbon and cord are from Stampin' Up! The main image is elevated, and the sentiment is stamped in Teal.
Hope you all like it as much as I do! I'll see you back here tomorrow with another Hambo card! Have a great Hump Day! :)

Wow, you multitasker! You go, girl! LOL
ReplyDeleteI really love this card. I do not see why they would not pick it for publication--not a reject to me--I love the big wide ribbon, but I truly love your colorin on those balloons. You have the highlight just perfect (I have trouble with that part). Oh well, there is always next publication, right?! I hear it is a tough market getting published. Hang in there and don't give up!! :) Kel
Great Card - can't believe it wasn't published. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! Great, great, great color combo!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute - what do those silly publication people know anyway?? (um, except all the other times they HAVE picked up your cards...) ;-)

ReplyDeleteA very cute card!! It should have been picked, you did an excellent job!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I just love the balloon cut out of the box.
ReplyDeletelove the higher balloon, perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteI do like it! I really like how you cut out the balloon at the top. This is exactly why I check your blog daily...because I never would have thought to cut it out that way! You are a great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable, Kirsten! Looks publishable to me--their loss...tsk, tsk.
