Thinking of You 2


This is a really cool card. Instead of using ink on the French Script Background stamp, I 'inked' it up with bleach! I love the way it came out. The Black paper is bleached and it looks like Kraft paper. You can also stamp an image and 'color' it in with bleach using a Q-Tip. I plan to do that some time in the future. I plan to sleep some time in the future too...
Stamps: French Script & Antique Background, All Year Cheer I
Paper: Black, Kraft (hmmm, I wonder if there's any mac & cheese to nosh...)
Ink: Black, VersaMark
Accessories: Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimentionals

Thinking of You Thinking of Thinking of You Cards


Okay, I am exhausted. It's after midnight and I can't sleep. I should have known better than to have that Diet Cherry Coke with dinner. Tomorrow, I have a doctor's appointment and I'll have to convince him that I am feeling fine, but when I don't get enough sleep, I hurt. Thank God for spellcheck because I'm misspelling every other word. I was asked to make a series of Thinking of You cards. Here is my first.
Deets:
Stamps: Victorian Lace Background, All Year Cheer

Get Well Soon 5


Okay, here is my last Get Well Soon card. I think this could also be sent to cheer up a man or a woman. Not long after I finished this batch of Get Well cards, I got sick! No, really! I even got referred to a specialist! I'll never say I'm sick of making Get Well cards again! My angels got a kick out of the irony of it all....
Deets:
Stamps: Sincere Salutations, Medallion & Canvas Background
Paper: Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip
Inks: Not Quite Navy, Versamark, White Craft
Accessories: 2 Step Bird XL Punch (for the leaves), Coluzzle (to cut the circles), Paper Piercer

Get Well Soon 4


This is my version of a Get Well card for a man. It's got a lot of weight to it and I think, with the absence of flowers, and even with the ribbon, it would be a good fit for guys you want to cheer up.
Deets:
Stamps: Sincere Salutations, Antique Crackling
Papers: Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, White
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Grosgrain Ribbon, Organdy Ribbon

Get Well Soon 3


It's hard to see, but the main portion of the card is stamped with the Canvas background using the same color ink as the paper. Then I took the blue hue and stamped the background with the French Script background.
Deets:
Stamps: Sincere Salutations, Canvas, French Script, Baroque Motifs
Paper: Brocade Blue, Old Olive, White
Inks: Brocade Blue, Old Olive, Black
