Feeling Groovy

I tried....really I tried....to get my groove on!!

I was determined to stamp. No matter what. No matter how it turned out. I was gonna try.

I pulled out the new stamp set I got last month, SU! She's All That and I told myself, "Self, you are going to sit your butt down and stamp!"

I used my Archival ink pad and inked up the silhouette of the gal. Oh, I was scared. I gently positioned the stamp over top of some glossy card stock. Pressed down and gently lifted the wooden block. Much to my surprise, I did it! I actually stamped....LOL.

I used SCS sketch challenge for last Wednesday.

I pulled out some funky paper from my Mat stack "Retro Prints" by DCWV and used it for the background.

Now the really scary part. I brought out my sewing machine, the one that's been in storage for a year. Oh how I missed it! I positioned the card under the needle and commenced to sewing. And much to my surprise I did okay. Well, almost okay....I sewed through both layers of the card and now it's just a card front! A very thick card front mind ya....lol

I went into my Stamp Cave and searched for my acrylic paints. Luckily I had them all in one drawer. I pulled out lime green and pink and added some color to the girl and poodle. I love painting on my cards. Adds that extra something.

Well, I'm not 100% sure I like this card but at least I accomplished what I set out to do today and stamp. Seems like my little set up may work after all.
