Ok, so I'm a bad blog-mommy...

Yeah, I admit it, I'm a negligent blog-mommy.  I also have no real excuse other than laziness.  I've thought about blogging a lot since my last post...just haven't actually gotten around to it.  And now I can't find my camera cable!!  See what happens when I go on vacation?  So, I was going to use that as my excuse to, yet again, not post for you all.  But, instead, I'm going to share from my archives (is 6 months old enough to be considered "archived"?).

Anyway, moving on...this is a card from a workshop back in March.  It's a simple tri-fold.  Basically, fold the cardstock in half to create a standard card size and then fold the front flap back on itself.  Pretty simple.  The flower was colored by loading a summer sun marker with pumpkin pie.    Theoretically, the base of each petal is darker than the tips.  Loading is a fancy term for using a light colored marker as a blender pen.  As the dark ink is "scribbled out" the lighter color is seen.You only want to do this with like colors.  I wouldn't load my barely banana with not quite navy, for instance.  If your colors are within same generally family, you should have no problems with lingering color.

And here it is open.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll get some newer stuff up once I find that stupid cord.  Now, where would I have put that...?
