And so... I decided to try "coloring" again! This was supposed to be "quick." Apparently, that is not a word my mind or fingers seem to understand.

I started off with a pigment stamped piece. maybe that was my problem...

Colored in some dark (bold) orange from my seldom used Spectrum Noir(s)...

Tried to add some softer orange... because I thought I had this "blending" thing figured out...

And I "blended" it. Nope. Not working for me...

So I added more bold orange to the mix...

It's the best thing I got... You don't really want to know how many times I REALLY tried this...

These are the gorgeous colors I used in case you don't want to make the same mistake want to replicate my masterpiece.

(Looks like someone was sneaking into my secret pal's goodies!)

I attached it all to this little basket... 

Just so you know... (because I know and thought you might want to as well..) I accidentally must've deleted the pic with the tag attached to the basket... 

 Now... Hop on over to Marji!

Paper Hoarders DT: Sunglasses/Bright Challenge

Gosh... summer is flying by. Ouch. And I haven't done much, if anything of what I'd goaled to do. Huh. Go figure.

Anywho... the challenge today over at the Paper Hoarders was to make something sunglass-y and/or bright. I chose... the sun! He's a bright ball of fun. Put on your sunglasses, ma peeps, as it's gonna be a bright one today!

Spellbinders dies in 2 sizes, off set, then backing of a larger dotted circle and front of a circle, too (Cricut cuts, ya know!). Thought I'd make him into a tag, so I could utilize this bright orange ribbon that I've been hoarding (Ribbon Hoarders... come and find me!)

Then I layered them all, stamped his cutesy-pie face with a Peach Keen Stamp, highlighted with chalk (the cheeks) and Stickles and called it a day then stamped the back with a bunch of journaling lines to make the tag a little more purposeful. Gotta love it!

You, too, can join the challenge. Please visit Miss Tanya's blog, and there will be ALL the links for everyone else, too! Schmooz through and enjoy a cool drink while you experience the bright talent of all these wonderful crafters!
