Ok readers - I have to admit that I didn't really do anything creative today. About 4pm I was going cross-eyed at my desk and I had a killer headache and some weird restless leg stuff going on so I quit working on the paying job. Maybe it was my lack of sleep last night...or maybe it was that I didn't have any Coke Zero today (ok I broke down later tonight and finally had one) but I could not get creative!
But...let me tell you about my fun last night. As I mentioned, I've been collecting packaging and things that I thought I "might" be able to use for creative endeavors. Last night I took the acrylic packaging from a big shot die and used my five petal punch. Then I put several of the punched out acrylic flowers into the polka dot embossing folder. Next I mixed a little bit of gold shimmer with some Close to Cocoa reinking ink and using a sponge dauber painted the shimmer color on the textured side of the flower. Once it dried, I punched a hole in the middle and using a pink brad attached it to a design I am working on. It is very cute and my packaging went a long way.
I will post a photo soon...I forgot to bring the camera down to the craft pit and I was too lazy to go back upstairs to get it!
