The Corrosive Challenge #174 - My Sentiments Exactly


Happy Mother's Day to all you maternal type people out there!  I will be celebrating later at a family cookout, but for now I have a new Corrosive Challenge, a new sponsor, and a new card to share with you!  This fortnight our sponsor is none other than the sensational queen of sentiments: Cheri of Graphicat Designs!  She specializes in sass and snark, but there are plenty of options to choose from in her online store!  She has generously offered a $10 gift voucher for our winner this fortnight!  She has also provided each DT member with a sentiment to use for our new challenge: My Sentiments Exactly!  Simply use a sentiment on the outside of your project to qualify.  Since I am on the DT for her sketch challenge I simply chose a sentiment from my collection.  This one is actually one of four freebies currently offered HERE on the Graphicat Sketches blog!  I paired it with my All That Scraps image which was supposed to be used for the previous Corrosive Challenge.  She was all colored up, but I was so busy that she never made it to a card.  I figured better late than never since she is a beauty.  This is Butterfly Willow from The Tickled Pink Lil Lads and Lolitas line at All That Scraps.

Willow is colored with Copics.  I distressed the edges of my layers with a pair of scissors and add a few stamped elements (from Stampin' Up) to my image panel.  Add flowers, bling, hat pins, and a punched butterfly from my stash to finish.  The papers are My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine.  I used the current sketch from Sketch N Stash (#113) for my layout.  I like these as they are very basic and leave all the additional embellishments up to you!



I hope you'll head over to the Corrosive Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team has created to inspire you!

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, R24, R27, R29, E23, E27, E79, BG10, BG70, BG72, YG93, YG95, Y38, YR15, YR18).

And since I'm here I might as well take care of today's Blog Every Day in May theme as well.  Today's theme: What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life...)

Thinking about this one I couldn't settle on one thing that I miss...  I miss my two black cats, Loki and Poe who both have passed on - one from old age, one from illness.  I miss the care-free days of my youth.  I miss the 80s and all that went with it - cheesy movies, hair bands, big hair, and the totally awesome fashion.  I miss living in California where I would wake up to the sound of sea lions barking.  And I miss having someone special in my life.  I'm okay with being a single mom 99% of the time.  But every once in a while I get the crazy idea in my head that I should start dating again...  Maybe one of these days I'll actually be brave enough to do it!  What about you?  What do YOU miss?

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your day!
