Morning all, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it's a chilly one! Did you know (thanks Google) that today is the 125th anniversary of the largest snowflake? I wonder how big it was ..... and how do they know it was the biggest? Still, pleased to report that there is no danger of that being repeated today - bright, crisp day, lots of sunshine at the moment, yay!
It's that time of year again when I have a struggle - with my dear sister-in-law's birthday card. She doesn't do cute! Arrrgh, how can anyone resist cuteness? Anyway, this week's challenge at TOTALLY GORJUSS is KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) and that seemed like a good idea, stop overthinking things Squirrel.
Ingredients for this card are:
Stamped Image Gorjuss Girls New Heights
Medium Come on, you should know by now
Papers A mixture of First Editions
Sentiment Lili of the Valley
Extras Martha Stewart punch and gems from stash
Now I will own up to this being the second attempt at this card. If you want the biggest belly laugh ever just keep going - on my travels around blogland I had been admiring how some very clever people have been using Prismas on Kraft and the lunatic side of my brain said "let's have a go" - yeah, well, the result below is now in the shredder!
The only part of this that was vaguely acceptable was her hair! And then the Sansador made it go all splodgy. Lesson learned - stick to what you know Squirrel. Me and my inks will not be parted - not even for a floosie pencil that briefly turned my head!
Hugs, Sxx

it amazes me how they can state categorically "this is the biggest snowflake". Did they c heck every single snowflake as they fell? The mind boggles.....

Tim Holtz was right when he said your colouring is amazing, yeh! stick to what you know, it's fab and the card is :)
Love this card - love this stamp!
We all have to stretch ourselves creatively once in a while, even if it means our bins are full up with our less-than-stunning creations. =) Plus, your pencil isn't that bad; you just hate it because it's not the brilliant Squirrelly quality you're used to, Ms Perfectionist. =P LOL
