\"Cattails
\n<\/a>\"Weekly-Favorite\"<\/a>\u00a0\"CAS-Favorite\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Has it been crazy hot where you are? And humid, too? A walk outside around here is feeling like walking through a steam room. It’s pretty bad when it feels as if\u00a0you’re wearing the air like a wetsuit. As Dr. Suess might say…I do not like the heat. I do not like it one bit. I do not like it even one little bit. For today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC551<\/a>), we have a Pinterest Board full of Tim Holtz inspiration. I was inspired by THIS <\/a>card.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\"Cattails
\n<\/a>\u00a0(I DO like these colors. I do like them a lot.) And cattails & dragonflies are what you’d probably see in a hot, humid area. You can tell it’s hot because of the blazing orange above the dragonflies. I die cut a stitched rectangle out of the white linen c\/s then sponged on the oranges from the top down and the green\/turq from the bottom up. Then I put it into my Misti, stamped the\u00a0cattails<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0dragonflies<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0w\/ Memento, added some color w\/ Copics, then over stamped w\/ Versafine. Just a touch of the\u00a0splatter bg<\/span><\/a><\/b>. was added here & there. The\u00a0greeting<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0was die cut in a double stitched circle & I sponged the outer circle w\/ the same colors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny thing about the bottom…I scored the top fold in the wrong place which made the front shorter & back too long. Instead of rescoring it (which would make it look funny & all), I cut off the excess on the back & added a sponged strip w\/ part of the grid border on top. I guess another case of a mistake turning into an opportunity for change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used for the cattails & dragonflies.
