The Dust Bowl

100_3902

I had a migraine this morning when I woke up. After sitting around hurting for awhile, I decided to try what worked before and paint an image. I’ve been wanting to do this one for awhile. It’s a digi stamp from River City Rubberworks. I love these vintage stamps. I was thinking that if I painted something I really like, maybe the head would stop hurting. It didn’t stop but it feels much better.

The DP has been in my stash for-e-ver! I kept it very simple and then dyed, with watercolors, the flowers in shades of reddish-brown. I chalked around all the edges with dark brown.

I used the sketch from Card Positioning System and the challenge at Spoon Full of Sugar is distressing. No it doesn’t distress me it’s to put distressing on your card. he-he

I don’t think I’ll have much time tomorrow for crafty pursuits. Maybe late in the evening while I’m watching the Boise State football game! I’ll be out and about until then. Yes, I will be picking some stuff up for my giveaway so if you haven’t entered yet, it’s time since it will close on the 6th and I’ll draw on the 7th! Just go to the this post.

It’s 3:30 a.m. (Hi Stef, I’m pretty sure you’re already awake!) and about time to go to bed. Sometimes it really sucks to be such a nite owl!

Blessings,

Christine

Wonderful card!
Hope your migraine is gone! My headache is hopefully on it's way out....luckily it didn't make it to the migraine stage!
