Age Happens

 

It's time again for the Emerson girls!  I love these images!  They are by Emerson and are from the American Art Stamp website.  At least, that where I buy them because they have a large selection.  I know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them and for the last couple of years, it's been the same three.

The image was stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia.  The flowers were first embossed using the embossing folder and the cuttlebug.  I then punched them out using a Fiskers and SU flower punch.  The pattern is from BasicGrey and is called Bittersweet.  I don't know if BasicGrey has made pattern paper that I didn't like - I haven't found it yet if they did!  I also added stickles to the flower on the hat, and to the brown flower on the side.

Listen Honey

I own several of these Emerson Quillin stamps and I call them my ladies.  Whenever I'm feeling sassy, I bring them out.  This one reminds me of one of the first resolutions I broke this year!  I was going to try and exercise every day but it seems things just keep getting in the way.  I'm down to every other day which is probably more reasonable.   I don't have a goal to lose weight but to try and eat more healthy and exercise as often as I can.

This the first time I've used Versafine Onyx Black.  It was recommended by someone at my LSS and I love it.  The image came out so sharp and clear.  The ribbon I took off a $1.00 pad I bought at Target!
