Freshly Made Sketches and a 'safe place' for those abused by their papercrafting.

          

So, a couple of days ago, I decided to use my McGill punches to (painstakingly) put this rose together. Every piece was shaped and edged with Distress Ink, the leaves were shaped and I actually put EVERY vein on them!!! Then, having no earthly idea what to do with it, I put it on top of my Copic Marker stand and there it sat, until today, when I found the perfect use for it with a site I stumbled on-and just love to pieces-called Freshly Made Sketches.

I was overjoyed, because this rose has been taunting me all this time:

"Look at me! One of the best flowers you've ever done! And you have NOTHING planned for me? What kind of stamping loser are you? Just when I think I've seen it all, YOU come along and take the cake! Why bother if you can only create me yet can't find a decent idea for me! And you call yourself a papercrafter?? You want to know the truth?? WELL YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" 

It's strange when my hallucinations take on the voice of my mother.

Anyway, I saw the sketch and used my rose. It must be happy because I haven't heard a peep since.

Now, if those &%$%#$ leaves would just stop whining about being "stuck up the rose's butt"...
