I know this because I've occasionally felt I shouldn't participate with the drunken stampers. Not that there's something wrong (it's not holy crap, these people are ACTUAL drunks).
It's that I'm not a skilled, knowledgeable or overly-involved stamper (Hello, it's drunken STAMPERS?). There are lots of stamps and pads and ink and such around our house ... but not as much stuff for other paper projects.
In fact, we have more beading, sewing, candle making, knitting and clay modeling paraphernalia than we do for stamping.
However, every time there is another Drunken Stampers challenge I end up learning something new or use something I haven't remembered in a long time or am inspired to use an old and trusted tool in a novel way.
It's like your own personal inspiration team! So, I can't suggest often enough that you stop by the Drunken Stampers' blog and take a chance with Mr. Linky (post your project, silly, what'd you think I meant?).
Then run back over to me so I can tell you that my kitchen inspiration is behind the swirly black card stock screen, in front of the gold glitter foamie ... that's right ... purple plastic mesh from a package of shallots!
See you Saturday you inspiring inebriates!
CB, this is the perfect example of how to do a Drunken Stampers Kitchen Challenge! Your card is stunning, and your use of the purple plastic meshy stuff is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWe're having such a great time, and it's even better when super talented people like you play along with us! BTW, though our name would suggest otherwise, unless the challenge criteria specifically calls for stamps, you don't have to use them to create your submission! So, maybe think of us more as Drunken Papercrafters... or just Drunken Crafters.
Thanks so much for "livin' it up" with us! I truly love this gorgeous card you've made.
Hugs,
Linda
