I will probably miss the event with this card...but that's okay...next year there will be another person(s) who can receive one of my new creations....
It's not close to being finished and unless I rally myself tonight, which I am not going to...it will probably not be finished by Saturday since I have obligations for the next couple of nights...
That being said...
I pulled out some very old supplies!
First....
A little tip that was told to me YEARS ago...was to hit up a frame shop and ask to buy old frame scraps (chipboard). For a couple of dollars, I scored on a boatload of CHIPBOARD...perfect to use with my...DRUM ROLL...SIZZIX DIES! Yes, we are talking about my red sizzix....although, I have to admit, I did run the chipboard through my Big Shot, mainly because it was closest to me....
I used....what was color coded in the past...A YELLOW, medium-sized, die. I realize sizzix is still very big at large, but I don't see the color code system as much...or maybe it does still exist, although I have to say...this was probably one of the very first dies I ever purchased, about 11 years ago!
It also is one of my most used.....(sadly, some I have NEVER used....)
Next ancient supply: ACRYLIC PAINT....who knows WHY I felt I needed to load up on acrylics...but, for some odd reason, I did....about 7 years ago..maybe? Hard to say...I've been out of action for a couple, and I don't recall any projects I worked on before that...this had to be 6-7 years ago....anyhow...I have some fun old gold paint....and a little sponge paintbrush.....
FYI...my card...it probably isn't going to be bling bling and out of this world (that was a little hint, the world part)...it's more simple and sweet...I don't know where I'm going with it quite yet, so it will be a surprise for me too!~
Check back in a couple of days...and it may be uploaded by then!
