Cockails? Ice, scissors and a twist of humour...

Chilly Thursday Greetings!

This week at Less is More it's Cocktails...I'll start by confessing that I was thinking of skipping this week. I was tired from a weekend away, feeling uninspired and could only think of cherries and deadly potions. Not a great combination, with a distinct lack of anything cocktailish in my stash. But the colours kept inviting me to play and before you know it, you're off on a whim...

l really liked Chrissie's bird take on the theme and figured if I can't stamp it or I ain't got it, I'll just have to improvise... I decided to exploit my snipping obsession of cutting out and went in search of a rooster outline which I found on a kiddies site here!

I reduced it in size and printed it out on the back of various coloured Bazzill cardstock. That meant I wouldn't see the ink on the right side and it also made all the fellas end up looking to the right which is just what I wanted...handy! I found the perfect shade of ric-rac lurking in my ribbon-rage bag and a Wendy Vecchi stamp was the finishing touch (second card attempt on view due to a last minute skid...sigh.)

l thought I was done, but had such fun I was up for another. I went through pigs, parrots and umbrellas but suddenly thought that the Playboy logo might be a good candidate to audition. Once teamed up with the PaperArtsy Rock Star stamp it seems to have more of a party feel to it. Celebrities, bunny girls, wild nights and all that!

Just all a bit of creative fun...the roosters and bunnies do make me laugh so I'm happy and very glad I didn't walk away. So that was that. Just need to tidy up now because I had to go through every single folder to find that last stamp...
So just one word, thought, colour, image or mood can give that push - they all count. Have a great evening and hold on, it's Friday tomorrow!

Au revoir,
Sarah
