Sending You Strength

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a card created for two challenges over at MFT, the Color Challenge 206 and Sketch Challenge 633.  This card began as a rare 'just for fun' card and had the card mostly completed when I got unfortunate news that I needed to send out a sympathy card for a friend.  Instead of using a sentiment from the 'Spread Your Wings' set, I chose a more thoughtful sentiment from 'Essential Sentiments'.  The butterflies were stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto ivory cardstock; a clear glaze pen was used as a resist, then the butterflies were sponged with the three colors for the challenge, then fussy cut and popped up with foam tape. The designer paper is also from MFT but is now retired. (I love getting good deals from the Clearance section!)

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Oceans of Love

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a fun card created for one of my niece's birthday.  I used the MFT Sketch Challenge for the layout, along with an MFT stamp set, 'Oceans of Love'.  The images and sentiment were stamped onto watercolor paper with Stazon Jet Black, cut out with the coordinating dies, then watercolored. The background panel was spritzed with olive and turquoise Glimmer Mist; the images were 'painted' with Pearl Glimmer Mist at the last.  The sentiment was cut out with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies by Divinity Designs LLC; the background panel was cut out with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, framed with the Matting Rectangle; the card was cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.

Thanks for stopping by!
