Toy's Haven

Good afternoon, friends

I was so hoping to wake up this morning feeling like a million bucks.   Ehhhhhhh, wrong.    I was also hoping to have a leisurely morning in the studio as I have lots to accomplish this week.   Ehhhhhhhhh, wrong.    Finally, I was hoping this morning’s Technique challenge would be an easy one, because I am technique challenged.    Ehhhhhhhhh, wrong again!

Today’s challenge was to create a retiform background.   The instructions for this technique can be found HERE.   I was hoping my result would look something like the fields on a farm.    Well I tried, but they didn’t quite come out like I had hoped.   I tried again.   Same result.   What I ended up with is a hot mess.

That’s ok.   I winged it from there and pushed on.   I was so disappointed in my result that I let it sit on my desk all morning and now half the afternoon.   In the meantime, I worked on another project that was kicking my butt, too.   Maybe I was not suppose to stamp today afterall 🙂

Here are my deets:

Stamps:  Artful Inkables‘ Down on the Farm

Colors: Kiwi Kiss, GP White, Real Red, Regal Rose

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Kiwi Kiss, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, copics

Accessories: ribbons, candy dots, oval punch, circle punch, sticky notes, brayer, embossing folder

Thanks for stopping by.   I hope you all have a blessed day!   I am going to take a nap and hope the stamping fairies are with me when I wake!
