Holly Chickadee

Nope....it's not an Artful Stamper card! Are you surprised? LOL! I decided to do something a little different today since I had the day off work and a little time to play. This is my FIRST EVER attempt at Prisma pencils with odorless mineral spirits. I still need some practice, but it is a fun technique and I enjoyed trying my hand at it.

The stamp is Impression Obsession's Holly Chickadee . I stamped it on Neenah Solar White cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I used my new Argyle Cuttlebug folder for the background layer, which is the medium color in the Prismatics Herbal Garden paper pack. The card itself is the darker green from the same collection. I then used a VersaColor Green Tea ink cube to highlight the embossed areas.

The red cardstock is Classic Red Prismatics , and the ribbon is Red Woven Iridescent by May Arts. The gemstones are Kaiser Craft Clear .

I will be getting another day off work tomorrow! They have decided to close the Parish Courthouse where I work in anticipation of a tropical storm here. We are playing it by ear for Wednesday, depending on what happens tomorrow. It's really NOT the way you hope to get a day off...KWIM? So we will all batten down the hatches and pray for the best. I moved all plants and outdoor furniture up under the patio. My cell phone is fully charged, and the car is full of gas. Other than that, there isn't much I can do to prepare.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness and kind words. I will be back as soon as I can.

Until then.......
