14 Days of Pink: Red Hearts on Neutral

I admit, I love this manicure. It reminds me of my mom. Many years ago when I was fairly young, my mom took a folk art painting class. She learned to paint (I always thought she painted so well!) among other things, the "Dolly Parton heart". On a few of her projects, I was put on Heart detail--it was my job to paint the hearts.  Here's how to paint a Dolly Parton heart: paint two dots with a dotting tool (he he, like...er... you know) and then drag some of the paint down for the heart point. Easy peasy!

My husband picked up this pretty China Glaze as a surprise for me last week. The application is a little tricky, but I love the color (China Glaze's Heaven). Simple, but fun for Valentine's Day!

Stamping Sunday: stamping with a "7" plate

This weeks' stamping challenge was to use a stamp that had a number "7" in it. Most plates are numbered.  I'm still such a stamping newbie that I don't have many. I used MASH stamp number 17.  Sadly, this was my first and last time using it. I took it out of it's wrapper, used it to stamp one hand and then took it outside to take a photo. It rolled down into the crack between my front steps and my porch...never to be seen again. I didn't even get a picture of it! Dog gone it.

This pretty dusty pink was a birthday present from a friend. I like to wear  more muted tones on Sundays for church so this was a great weekend color for me!
