NAILLINKUP: Candyland

Hi lovelies,

Have you had a good week so far?  I am loving the cooler weather but I know there are some hot hot days coming up.  Yikes!

It’s NAILLinkup time for the month of looooooove! .  You can check out all the prompts on the poster below.  Remember, the dates are just a guideline.  You can also find more info about NAILLINKUP and the February prompts here.

So today I am all about Candyland.  Or at least I thought I was.  I had these ideas of decals I was going to make and how I was going to put them together.  I then went through my stamping plates and realised I don’t have any of the images I needed.  Has that ever happened to you?  Where you thought you had a specific image but when you look you can’t find anything even close?  Happens to me ALL the time.  I must be dreaming up images 😛 Anyway, let me show you what I did end up with.

I started off with a sponged gradient using Sinful Colors – Snow me white and Sinful Colors – Black on black. Another gradient I hear you say?  Well yes.  I love gradients and have always found them really easy to do.  A while ago I couldn’t gradient to save my life.  For some reason every single time something went wrong.  So now that I seem to have my gradient mojo back I am going to take full advantage of it. Once the gradient was dry I stamped using BM421 and Mundo de Unas – Barbie on my pinky, Mundo de Unas – Tutti on my ring finger, Mundo de Unas – Sky blue on my middle finger.  On my index I used all three colours and randomly smooshed them together. I topcoated and that was that.  Of course these are supposed to represent the love hearts candy.

What do you think?  Does it work? Don’t forget to check out the other participants using the InLinkz thingum below
