...are OVER! Freedom for three months! Or, semi-freedom - I have a job interview tomorrow, so hopefully that goes well. ;)
Popping in with a card made for the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge (I actually don't have any nautical themed stamps, so I just kinda went with nautical colors), Simon Says Stamp Things with Wings (the bird) and the Runway Inspired (the stripes and colors)...
For the red stripes, I was inspired by my friend Virginia - I just cut the extra rubber surroundings from a Hero Arts stamp set, inked it up, and stamped! Not a perfect impression, but it works for me!
The pearls were originally white, but using THIS nifty little trick, I painted them gold!
Stuck some gold lace on to finish the card off, mainly because I couldn't think of anything else. ;)
Thanks for stopping in and God bless!
