It's amazing what sleep, or the lack of, can do to you. In the first part of the week, I slept lousy. I'm not sure why but just didn't get the kind of sleep I needed. And it showed. During the day on Tuesday, I was moving very slow and my brain just wouldn't work. I tried to jump start myself in the studio, but everything I tried looked blah......But, last night I got some decent sleep so I'm on my way back to myself. I got a simple card created today. Nothing too fancy but it was nice not to say yuck as soon as I finished the card!
All the stamps for this one came from one of my new Papertrey Ink sets.
In regards to color, I have a question for all the SU demos out there. I stamped the flowers in Regal Rose. But when I tried to match it with the Regal Rose cardstock for the mat, it looked horrible. But then I held it up to the Cameo Coral cardstock (say that 10 times fast!), and it was a perfect match. Did I get a Regal Rose dud of an inkpad or does the rose actually match the coral?
The next several weeks bring Valentine's projects to the forefront. You may be seeing a lot of candy in the near future!
So pretty! I love this set and can't wait to get it. Lovely card!

I love papertrey. You did a great job on this. I am glad you got some better sleep. Could the stamp pad have been mislabeled? If you have had the stamp pad to long to return it you could wash out the pad with water and then let it dry real good and reink it with the right color reinker. I am sorry it didn't match.

This card turned out darling - I know what you mean by not enough sleep - I can't function at all if I am tired!! Love your card - don't know about the rose red - you might have a bad pad - b/c mine matches when I use it, or maybe the c/s was a bad batch. Anyway - your card is wonderful!

Oh Laura, what a pretty card. I have this set and haven't used it yet. I think I will have to case you if you don't mind.
