Impression Obsession's challenge is
All About the Dies. Sometimes when I pick a challenge to focus on, I add a challenge of my own on top. This week I wanted to work with a colour scheme I am not comfortable with. I thought I would have lots of time to finish this project after Agility practice this morning, but things didn't work out well. I actually had the oh-so-brilliant idea to stop a dog from attacking another, by getting my ankle bone in the mix. ( I know my sister is reading this and nodding her head thinking, "Yep, just brilliant(insert sarcasm here), and so typical !) We don't usually have problems with the dogs, but stuff happens. Neither dog involved was mine, but I'd rather not see anyone hurt. except me, apparently. Some very hard part of the aggressor hit, NOT bit my ankle bone, and it's all swollen and hurts like blue blazes. So long story over, I didn't get a lot of time to finish this quite the way I wanted to, I always think everything needs more!
I used some older Webster's pages paper and the following IO products :
Dogwood Dress Form E13084 ( I LOVE this!!)
C-A-C Rose Lace CC087
Small Spiral Flowers DIE042-I
Layered Floral Set DIE047-J
Butterflies DIE046-A
I also want to thank Mitra at IO for her incredible generosity. I just won three Dies or die sets of my choice on the blog hop and I am thrilled! IO has some really cute dies and I am having a hard time choosing !
I would also like to enter this is a challenge blog that I just recently found called
Totally Gorjuss. Their challenge this week is Anything Goes.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous just isn't a big enough word to describe this beauty! Love everything about it! Hope you heal up quickly!
ReplyDeleteNice card! Definitely not your usual colours...which I guess would be blue, red, and purple morphing into green and yellow. (Didn't want you to think that your sweet sister didn't have anything sarcastic to say :)
