EBTKS Challenge #16 - Nail Polish Is Tough!

Okay, so I first saw this challenge a number of days ago....and at first glance, I thought it was using nail polish as a color inspiration.

Oh, how I was wrong!

Then I realized that it was actually using nail polish on a card. I completely blew it off thinking that there would be no way I could do that. My creative mojo is making a very slow return after the birth of Kellan 6 weeks ago. Not to mention that my time is very limited.

I became very intrigued by this challenge, but didn't think I would be able to get to it. But tonight after I picked Cody up from Scouts, I just didn't come upstairs....I just hid out in my stamping dungeon.....no one would notice that mom wasn't around, right? Well, I managed to buy myself about 20 minutes in which I was able to make this card:

Here's a close up of the nail polish flowers!What I didn't realize was how tough of a medium nail polish would be. Thanks for the challenge, ladies! I just figured that I would color the flowers and it would be like using a marker, right? WRONG! I had to place a few drops on the paper and then I used a pall point pen to "drag" the nail polish around to make the flowers in the shape I wanted them. They are a bit abstract, but they are growing on me!

The patterned paper is from Memory Box, and the Nail Polish is OPI: California Raspberry, Chapel of Love, and the name on the third bottle wore off, so I don't know!

The best part of this is that I found the color I'm going to use at my pedicure tomorrow.....I'm going with California Raspberry!

Oh, and I can't get a blog post in without a pic of my new favorite guy! He's growing so fast, I can't believe how big he's gotten!

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!
