The construction crew made much progress this week, and our basement has drywall and the first round of mud and tape. Needless to say, it is a mess down there with fine white powder everywhere. They clean up everyday before they leave and have an evacuation fan running through one of the windows, but that powder is everywhere!
My craft cave door is taped shut, and I am almost afraid to break the seal. I really don't want to clean white powder off of everything, even though I know I will have to do a deep clean once the basement is done.
I have a few new stamps I am dying to try, so I will be back to stamping just as soon as I can.
We are heading up to the mountains for some snowboarding in fresh powder. Hope you have a great weekend, too!

A Very Large Flower and a Prize
Here is a card I made for the Less is More week 2 challenge. This time it was to use trees or flowers for the theme on a one layer card.
I stamped the flower in eggplant, then used my aquapainter to pull the color from the image to color the flower. It was hard to do on regular cardstock for such a large image, and I think using watercolor paper would have been a better option. I'll make a note of that for the next time I want to try this technique.
It's amazing what a little bling will do to 'make' a card. All the flower needed was just a touch of Stickles. Coloring the entire center of the flower would have been too much, but just a little bit gave it just what it needed.
I even managed to use two of my new stamps, so they won't be living in my new basket anymore. Yippee!
Supplies:
Stamps - Hero Arts large flower, PTI Simple Sentiments
Paper - GKD PL white
Ink - Elegant Eggplant
Accessories - Daffodil marker, aquapainter, Stickles
Our basement is almost entirely cleaned out now. I still have a few odds and ends to get packed up, and the crew will be here first thing in the morning.
I have a question for you. What color would you paint a basement? Our entire house is Shaker Beige with the exception of the bedrooms, and I don't think I want to do the same color in the basement. I want more color, but nothing green. Tell me what you think, and I may just have a prize for you if I use what you suggest!
Toodles,
