Hi everyone! TGIM! Today’s challenge at CHF is a wordy one. We’re to use big words, little words or both. As you can see, I chose one tiny little word. (Sometimes, that’s all you need.)
Hugs
I used Ranger’s Weathered Wood Distress ink for everything but the flower stems and the tag. I wanted to add a bit of dimension to the flowers so I stamped them a second time onto a scrap of vanilla cardstock, cut them out, distressed the edges a little and adhered them over the other flowers. I also added a bit of shading with a gray Copic.
For a bit of sparkle (which I know you cannot see here), I added some Shimmerz paint to the flowers. Angel Wings is the only color I have right now, but I hope to get more at some point. I’ve decided I love that stuff!
I created the background using two of CHF’s backgrounders, Canvas and (new) Ornamental Vines.
Be sure to check out these other CHF designers to see how they used their words:

SO…(change of subject), I had plans to see Twilight on Saturday. I almost didn’t get to go. (Gasp!) Earlier in the day I had taken my son to a friend’s house to play. The mom opened the door, greeted us with a friendly hello and my son promptly puked all over her doorstep (slightly embarassing). Obviously, we came right back home. THANKFULLY my husband told me I should go ahead and see the movie with my friends. (Even though there was a chance he’d have to deal with sickness? Really? I took about one second to think about it.) So I saw the movie. YAY!
I thought some parts seemed a little “low budget” and I was a bit disappointed with a few things, but overall I loved it. (I went in with very low expectations since I loved the book so much but it was definately worth seeing.) I did laugh when I saw Carlisle. For one thing, I expected him to be a little older (I don’t know why), but I definately didn’t expect him to be so white. Holy cow. That dude was pasty! And I thought Edward didn’t need to look quite so creepy at times. I realize these guys are vampires but aren’t they supposed to “blend in”… somewhat?
When the movie was over, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted New Moon to start right then and there. So I’ve now bought the Twilight soundtrack and I started reading the story for the second time. I’ve never enjoyed a series so much. Love, love, love it!!
If you’ve seen the movie, please let me know what you thought. I’m curious to hear other opinions. (Team Edward or Jacob? It has to be Edward. It’s just meant to be. And so complicated. But I suppose life with a werewolf would be complicated too. Warmer -lol- but complicated nonetheless.) 🙂
By the way, my son is back to normal. It was just another one of those 24-hour things (a replay of last weekend with my daughter). And in case you’re wondering, he waited for me to get home from the movie before he puked some more. (Lucky husband.)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day! (Sorry to be so windy. I just had to talk about the movie too.)
