 This is a wednesday morning shot of some images I had colored during the slow times during work on tuesday ( yes, it was an long day) (it's the middle of the month) and I am alone at work again today so, will probably see more of the same but, I intend to grab my pencil storage container thing I cannot think of the name of it of Polychromos today though so, it won't be such a limited supplies challenge with just a handful of pencils haha. I have a pouch of random images to color no real ryhme or reason to it. just things stamped off that I wanted to color.

 and because, I knew this was going to be a long week at work and not really having any playtime until after thursday I shot this on monday night thinking it was all you were going to see. the Sept. Hero arts kit arrived on monday and I had added in some other things ( moon cloud dies that were sold out when I got the african stamps and some carousel animals and new leaves.)  I probably didn't need the leaf stamps but, they look like they would work well with the oxides and not need colored so, I grabbed a set while I was poking around in there.

 

Sunday there was a featured stamper challenge and this week it is Preethi, who has a beautiful gallery and I happened to stop at this beauty and since this challenge always requires "changes" the point is not to recreate their card as is but, to use it as a jump start for something of your own. So, I really mostly do not have good luck heat embossing on yupo papers and most of the backgrounds I have made in the past just waiting for an idea are alcohol ink ones ( like the scraps you see to the sides those cards are in the post before this one) so, I knew if I made it a card with the heat embossing first and then the coloring that would be one change right off the bat. (and I had this background laying in that pile to the left ;) ) So, other changes were the colors, to make it square and move the sentiment to the left side of the card. 

The sentiment is from the Taylored expressions spectacular set and the background is the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background with some DOX Honey & Lipstick. the butterfly stick pin I picked up a long time ago from Impress. That's about it for me this week, I am hoping to start some fall things this weekend maybe with those leaves, the other side of the kit has dies and one is an oval frame with leaves I think. ( it was the thing that pushed me over the edge on this months kit anyways) So, thanks for stopping by.
