Cards

Hi there!!
I wanted to stop in and say "Hi!!" I may not have been posting much lately, but I have been stamping every chance I get...which isn't too much lately. We have been sooooo much rain lately and our basement has been seeping a little along with everyone elses in this area...so my stamp time has been cut. Here are a few of the cards I have been able to get made...I hope you enjoy them!!

I made this card for a Floral Swap on SCS. This is the card closed. It is a little hard to see but there are purple stickles on each flower to add a little texture. This is a new style for me and I really like how it turned out. It is 12 inches wide and cut on a diagonal from about 5" down to about 3" and scored every 4". I brayered Elegant Eggplant onto the back of the card to add some dimention and interest to the card. Finally I tied Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant ribbons to the short side. I am so loving how these cards turned out!!

Stamps: Blossoms Abound
Paper: Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Whisper White
Inks: Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Lovely Lilac, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories: Ribbons, Stickles, Brayer

This is how the card looks when it is opened all the way...



Here is another version of the same card that I made for a co-worker who just found out she has colon cancer.

Awesome! Those are just amazing - great color choices and the purple one reminds me of the lilacs my nana loved so much. TFS
