Hello Friends ...
Did you have a nice Valentine's Weekend?
I have a clean & simple card to share today that I had fun creating with something NEW and something OLD. The Simon Says embossing folder is my new item (SF426 Dancing Floral) and the wood block Impression Obsession dogwood stamp is VERY (2004) old!
I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks, water & artist brush for the coloring on my dogwood blossoms. Then using a swivel craft knife, I fussy cut around it and added a sentiment from the TON.
Sadly, I seem to always be in need of sympathy cards these days and I thought this design would work perfectly. What do you think?
Here are a couple of challenges I'd like to share in today . . .
CAS on Friday Challenge #327 - ATG CAS (2/18) ✓
Just Add Ink Challenge #779 - Sketch (2/28) ✓
Addicted to CAS #301 - Pink (2/20) ✓
I hope you have a great week ahead.
They are saying we are to have some warmer temps for a few days (40-50s and almost 60) before the 'bottom falls out' again and temps drop back to the 20-30s. But Spring is right around the corner and I am SO READY for it! LOL
As always . . .
That is the most beautiful dogwood stamp, and colored to perfection! Beautifully cut, too! And dare I mention how much I adore the embossing folder? Sigh, I'm so hooked.
ReplyDeleteThe texture of the embossing folder behind the dogwood blossoms is just perfect. A lovely card and yes, perfect for those sadly needed sympathy cards. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Just Add Ink. Kerry, DT

ReplyDeleteI think it is a very nice design for a sympathy card, pretty coloring of the flowers and that embossing is so sweet too! we are enjoying some warm weather too, but by weekend back to normal temps, but I will take this nice weather whenever we can get it!
