Okay, So 18 Isn't Straight....




A challenging sketch but now that my brain is slowly going into "Real Housewives..,"House Hunters" la-la land in retirement, I needed something to make me think for a change. I bought a set of "Botannical Blooms" Stampin' Up stamps (never used!) at a yard sale for $5 and had a quote from my Fifth Avenue Flower set that I really just love.. so I went a bit crooked, played with the double stamping technique on the flowers and voila.. Oh, and I had to use my new Sizzix Texture pocketbook.. ...Hmmmmm.. wondering why my light cream card looks so dark on Stars&Stamps..it's lavendar and very light cream in the picture I uploaded... oh well, something else to think about.. (yeah!!!)
