While combing my hair now, and wondering what dress to wear now...

Happy Monday, yall! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had a great time hanging with my family, and then on Sunday I taught a Copic class at Stamp Asylum. We had a blast! I'll have more coming up, so I'll let you know as soon as we get them scheduled if you're interested.


I realized today that I haven't shown you this set made with the new Hey Chica set from BC Dzyns, which is a new line from My Favorite Things. I dug into my stash of items to be altered and found an empty pencil type box measuring about 4 1/4" square. I covered the top and sides with my favorite paper, Tres Jolie by My Mind's Eye. Sadly it's discontinued!! Isn't it yummy?

 

Inside I added 4 cards, giving each Chica a different color hair. Each of them is stamped in Brilliance Black on Fabriano hot press watercolor paper, and watercolored with reinkers and my waterbrushes. I had a blast adding shimmery makeup with my Pearlescent Watercolors. Here's a close-up:

 

The flowers on the front were so much fun to make...the bottom prima was colored with a Copic marker, and the top one was stamped with the Polka Dot background stamp from Behind the Scenes in Brilliance Pearlized Chocolate. A little rhinestone brad in the center was the perfect touch!

In other news...anyone want to see a kitty photo? I thought you might! Here's one my mom sent me:

 

You can see four of them, and there's a fifth sleeping behind the other gray ones. Aren't they the cutest?? I wish Josh would let me keep one...I love the dark one with the raccoon face. DARN ALLERGIES!

Ok, well, that's all for today...I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
