I have two summer interns who are leaving today. This one is for Fiona, who is a grad student at Columbia. She bought me a little lightbulb knick-knack for my desk because "we're so full of good ideas". So when I saw Dawn's challenge for this morning, I knew I had to use this Bugaboo Digi. Then I read Polly's challenge of using text and got the idea to print the lightbulbs onto a text DP and paint them with acrylic paint. And I pictured a big loosely painted yellow circle behind the lightbulbs. Finally, I've made a card that looks like it did in my head
The paint is a mixture of white acrylic paint, Distress Wild Honey Paint, and the leftover yellow paint from my kids' bedroom walls.
While I was setting up the Digi to print, I was thinking of what sentiment to stamp on this card, but then I got the idea to do a computer generated sentiment of "The Future is Bright". Then I sang "Candida" by Tony Orlando and Dawn the entire time I was putting the card together. Frankly, I'm still singing it.
