The mid-week throwdown over at the
Stars and Stamps blog today is to make a "missing you" card. I combined their challenge with today's
SC376 sketch challenge to make this card. I'm using the SNSS bluebird digi, along with the SU Doily stamp and a sentiment from So Many Sayings. I stamped the doily directly on the cardstock using Versafine ink, and added white embossing powder, then heated it. I sponged blushing bride ink all over it after it was cool. The image was colored with Copics, and I used some Ranger tumbled glass ink to sponge on the clouds and added a sentiment using the SU! word window and fancy label punches. A little pink satin ribbon and some gemstones from HA finished this card.
That's it for me today, so enjoy this gorgeous weather and have a great day!

Carol, your sponged doily is beautiful and so is the bird/flower image. Just a splendid creation.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to be in the 80's through next Tuesday. It's awesome, just hoping we don't have a late frost and kill tender plants later on. I can't imagine that we won't. It's warming up so early this year.
Love your card!!! Just in time for Spring!!! We are having upper 70-low 80 temps today in NE Iowa!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! So pretty, Carol. I really thought that was a real doily! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your coloring on this too.
Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteOh, wow! I never would've thought to emboss the inked doily. I thought it was a real one. Everything about the card is perfection and the robin is perfect for spring. Love!

ReplyDeleteCarol, I love that image and you did a gorgeous job with it. And you know I always love your "skies". That lace doily stamp came out beautiful with the pink sponged around it. All around nice job. Talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteThis lovely card has so many special touches...how creative! Truly artistic. I'm just a little jealous of your talent :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have both those stamps, and I guess you would believe me if I tell you that I haven't used either of them yet...If only there were more hours in the day. smile...
