TEBB Challenge #9

Number of View: 447

CIP2009-09-09_52

This was the most difficult challenge among 13 TEBB challenges. I didn’t know what to make. I love the shabby/chic style, but I wasn’t sure how I could create the look. So, I decided to “tackle” this challege first, and had the bestest time while working on it.

Painted a 4×6 canvas with acrylic paints. I didn’t have any pink acrylic, so used red instead. But, it just didn’t give me the light pastel pink color. But, I still love how it turned out =)

TEBBSH-Inspiration Challenge

Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash Challenge #9: Inspired by the photo (Soft, muted colors accented with brown for an aging effect, distressed & shabby.

Ooops, I didn’t use any brown on mine. But, the brush stroke and the music note background stamped image look distressed, heehee.

I didn’t even know new X-men movie came out. One of the blogs I subscribed to had the below image. And, I found out it was from the latest X-men movie, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Loved the photo, and couldn’t get the image off of my mind, and was inspired to create  the above  card. =)

Isn’t she?

One of the reasons I love about stamping is that I don’t have to draw. And I can still make something beautiful like this and claim it as my own creation even without the drawing skill. New Gorjuss stamp sets are coming out soon, and can’t wait.

I’ve been very cranky lately. Everything frustrates me, and I have to complain about everything. I used to love making cards with my son. We would stamp together in my crafting room, talking, working on different projects. But, lately I’ve been yelling a lot to my son when he is in my room. He drops my tools, spills my re-inkers, touching my Copics even though I just gave him 48 Stampin’ Up! markers for him to play with, etc. He is still young and I should be more patient with him, but I’m just not myself these days. It must be because of the D&C surgery I recently had. I’ve been so moody. One day happy, another day sad.

My son decided to do some painting when I neglected him yesterday or was it a day before? He painted rain falling on sunflowers. How well it describes my feelings these days. I shall spend more time with him. And, maybe I’ll let him use some Copic markers.
