I spent this past weekend with a bunch of amazingly talented stampers for a crop (AKA 3 day party). Planes, trains and automobiles brought us all together from all over the United States and Canada and Jessica Knutson and her cutie patootie husband were our gracious hosts. We had a BLAST! I think I slept no more than 13 ours in the 3 nights I was out there and we crafted and laughed up a storm all day and all night!
"Donkey" is a term of endearment in my book and I use it often. It was apparently catchy. If I had a dollar for every time I read the word donkey in our cyber chats over the past several months, I'd would be one very wealthy donkey! Jessica surprised this group of stampers by having a special stamp set designed by one of my favorite illustrators and friend Melyssa Connolly!
There She Goes new stamp set is called Ba Donkey Donk, and for all you snarky, tongue in cheek stampers out there, THIS is the set for you!! With three different styles of donkey's, and 9 AMAZING sentiments to go with it...really, there ISN'T an occasion you can use these for!!
Ba Donkey Donk is a 4x6 stamp set of 12 stamps that will sell for $15!
I colored that funny little donkey with copics and cut him out and matted him with nesties. I used some DSP from the We R Memory Keepers Autumn Splendor 6x6 aper pad and paired it with some PTI dark chocolate and orange zest CS. Did you notice my custom donkey watermark that Kim Teasdale made for me?!!?! One of pearls is rolling around in my suit case. There were three there when I packed up to go home.
This card was featured on the Splitcoast Stampers Facebook page today!
That is just the icing on the cake after a fun filled weekend with those crafty donkeys!
