Keeping Cool with TSB

I have been waiting all week to post this card!

I made it for the newest challenge at

The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog

which starts today!

I always show my projects to DH for feedback

when they're finished

and this is the FIRST time he ever said

"Wow, I think that's the best one you ever made!"

It just looks and feels "right"!

The challenge is to 

Keep It Cool

using colors on the "Cool" side of the Color Wheel

The image is called "The Fairy's Nap"

and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils

and cut the nested shape with a Penny Duncan Shapley

I followed her tutorial for layering the "sandwich" for the

nice embossed edge and it worked perfectly.

For the price of one sheet of plain card stock

I made a "Nested" shape that some people

have paid almost $20 for!

The fairy's wings and legs are painted with

Creative Inspirations "Fairy Dust" paint.

I love that stuff! (-:

The background paper is K & Co

and the ribbon is from a Latte Lounge ribbon swap

(I think?)

If you haven't taken a look around the shop

at The Stamping Boutique lately

you'll want to hop over and take advantage 

of "One Buck Week"

This week all the images in the

"Whimsical Inspiration" section

are only $1.00!!

I sure hope you're feeling "cool" today

and that I have somehow inspired you

to try making a project using only the 

"Cool" side of the color wheel!

I can't wait to visit all the entries in

this weeks' challenge!
