If I Could Bottle This I Would

Today we have a very happy, cheery color combo over on the Design Dollies to perk up your Monday:  black, white, and yellow.  Be sure to check out what the Design Team made for your inspiration. 


The flowers are fingerpainted and then stitched.  I love this self-portrait, the camera held at arm's length.  So funny! 

~closeup detail~


I used my Sketchy Thursdays April Guest Design Team sketch and even the prompt.  I did mist and paint, athough not pink as directed. 


The April GDT Challenge is closed but you can still hop on over to cast your vote for your favorite. 

Have a great Monday!

Heidi

Details:   Studio Calico stamp (coffee ring); Autumn Leaves Stampology ink; Making Memories paint; Maya & Glimmer Mists; Zig Millennium pen; DCWV cardstock; thread.

    Sweet.... the coffee rings are my favorite thing about this layout... like the other gals said, so many nontraditional things.... that's what I love so much about your work.... you include so much that is not the "Norm" in this industry. You totally rock!!! Great layout!!!
