This time - it's Birthday Delivery.
I sat there at the table at CentreStage, staring at the set, and the first card that popped into my mind was the one I'm sharing today.
I spent a lot of time in D-hall in my youth, as you know.
And I don't regret one second of any of it, because whatever I did to earn those mind-numbingly boring hours I would totally do again. So there, D-hall monitors - take that!
So when I saw the image of the little girl, I instantly knew I was going to put her in a corner. The image cried out for it. Cracks me up even looking at it in this post.
I stamped her in black, and then colored her with Prismacolor Pencils. Because that obscures the lines, I left her set up in my MISTI and when I was done coloring her, I overstamped her on top of the colored image, and heat embossed it with clear to bring back the stamp detail. (Clear embossing because the black ink won't really cure on top of the waxy pencil, and you risk smudging.)
After she was finished, just took a ruler and drew the lines for the corner with a mechanical pencil, and then shaded the lines with a grey Prismacolor pencil.
I went back and forth among some real contenders for the sentiment - "Faith is trusting God even when you don't understand His plan" from Artistically Asian, and "Oh Snap!" from Mr. Funny Bones were both in the running.
But I settled on Rose Wonder instead. Hilarious.
What were YOU sent to the corner for when you were a kid? Anything fun? Anything you'd totally do again? :)
PS - my Altenew winner announcement is late! So sorry about that - I've traveled every week in April and I'm behind on life. But congratulations to my winner! Please contact me through the form on the right side of my blog and I'll give you redemption instructions, Julie!
LoveyameanitseeyouinDhallbye.
I absolutely love this card, Lydia! The sentiment pairs perfectly with the image. I love how your brain works! <3
ReplyDeletePerfect combination of picture and sentiment! Love your sense of humor! TFS
ReplyDeleteOMG- love your card - I didn't even know that sentiment was on that stamp set - this is such an adorable card and you made me laugh SO hard this morning ! Thank you ! And thank you for the tip on the clear embossing !
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! What a perfect card to say I'm sorry! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card, I'm sure I was sent to the corner but I've long since forgotten what for. I knew my parents DID have eyes in the back of their heads :)
ReplyDeleteLove how perfectly this normally somber sentiment becomes so hilarious! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize that we didn't get the front of this adorable girl until yesterday!! So many possibilities with the dsp! She is so sweet. You nailed it with this card!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAck, I just LOVE this! I so thoroughly enjoy your wit and this card just screams Lydia.
ReplyDeleteYour card and sentiment are ADORABLE!!! This takes me back to my son when he was a toddler and went through the whining stage. After his afternoon nap, he would arrive in the kitchen while I was making supper and cling to my side and "whine". Standing him in the corner and telling him he could come out as soon as he could be pleasant to be around worked miracles! It only took a couple of times and he learned not to whine. Ah, relief!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL no words for this card. Okay maybe one, AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA! Duct tape.....on my mouth.....9th grade....Mrs Rother!!!!! Would I do it again? Pffft never stopped, except for that 45 minutes! You see once a blabby mouth always a blabby mouth. Hmmm maybe SHE is to blame for my fear of public speaking??!!
ReplyDeleteThe coloring is gorgeous! What an image! I just feel like she is plotting a takeover while in detention! Gorgeous dress and I love the corner you gave her to stand in! Both sentiments you contemplated would have been great but I think the best sentiment won the day! (cute title btw!)
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! I thought this little girl belonged in a horror film... I keep waiting for her to look over her shoulder at me.

...I'm so glad I wasn't the only one! LOL
DeleteBwahaha! Now I feel like making a creepy interactive card!
DeleteHave I told you lately how brilliant you are? Nobody puts baby in the corner better than you!
ReplyDeleteThat means a lot coming from you! xo
DeleteAs a die-hard "Dirty Dancing" film fan, I don't know whether I love your card or your post/title the best! This is just brilliant and a superb use of product!
ReplyDeleteI do feel sorry for the little girl, though. I wish she were playing hide and seek instead...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Altenew winner. Feeling sorry for another little girl...me, lol
I absolutely love this card!! There are so many times that I feel that adults need to get in the corner too and this would be the perfect card for them!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card. Love it. I can't remember ever being sent to the corner but I am sure I sure have been sent a few times.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - your coloring is amazing! I am blown away. And second - the technique of overstamping after coloring and embossing that to get the detail is brilliant. I am soooo glad I found your blog from the Stamp Junkies group.
ReplyDeleteI love this card! So many techniques used!
ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable! And it wasnt me - it was my sister - honest - i was a good little girl :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was that kid.
ReplyDeleteThis had me smiling because I just sent my five yr. old to the corner for not listening. Love this and the other saying in the stamping up kit are nice.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThis card is precious!
What a great idea, card for the new neighbor
ReplyDeleteThis card is awesome! Love the baby in the corner idea! Brings back memories!
ReplyDeleteThis is just a great card idea. It is so true.
ReplyDeleteLydia, we actually did not have any easily accessible corners due to placement of furniture so I had to stand along a long wall in our living room. I was supposed to think about my offense. I would just stand there and think about what I needed to say to my father to satisfy him. He always put me there for stupid stuff but one was for climbing a very steep cliff at the end of our road with a neighbor kid. Apparently he thought it too dangerous. I would totally do it again. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh out loud. Reminds me of my 4 year old daughter. Cute!
ReplyDeleteI just love what you did with this card. It reminds me of when I was put on my knees in a corner, wh r n I was a little girl. I'm definitely getting this stamp set as soon as I can . Thank you for sharing your card
ReplyDeleteThis card is Sooo Cute!!! Love the way you coloring her, overstamped her on top of the colored image, and heat embossed it with clear to bring back the stamp detail. Never heard of this befor ...What a great idea... Thanks for sharing.
