Hey Everyone!
I am starting to get into the swing of things with my new job. It is a tough balance between working and doing the things you love. I don't want to neglect my family or my love of art just because I have a job. For the first week or so, I thought that I would have to sacrifice something (and it would be my art...not my kids lol), but I am starting to get into a habit of working way ahead when I have time and scheduling my posts. Hopefully, I will get into a routine and will still be able to enjoy all that my life has to offer!!
So, that brings me to this card I made with Artistic Outpost stamps. I adore all of their stamps. The retro feel of them just makes me happy. I used the Playtime plate for this one. The fun toys of our childhood and the wonderful phrases just make me all warm and fuzzy!!
I chose to use the soft green and peach because they just seemd retro to me. They remind me of the color of alot of the rooms in my house growing up. I swear my mother used every shade of green she could find and this shade was our bathroom! lol So, just a fun card to make me think about the carefree days of childhood!
Materials: PAPER: WorldWin STAMPS: Playtime (Artistic Outpost) INK:Versafine-Onyx Black (Tsukineko), Fresco-Mediterranean Tide, Golden Partchment (Stampa Rosa) OTHER: Ribbon, Foam tape
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a creatively wonderful day!
