Card Class – Day 5!

I promise that I am trying to keep up with my homework….  working 5 days a week, just makes it a little harder!  Enough excuses, here is my card for Day 5.  This technique is super fun, thank you Jennifer, and I totally adore all the shimmery goodness.  Totally naughty,  I’ve had my Pearl Glimmer Mist for at least a year and this may be the first time I used it!  You will notice that I did use my distressing tool again.  That’s twice in one week, it will probably need a rest now!

With Sympathy

I was inspired by Kathy’s Lily Pad Palette Challenge as I wanted something a little brighter than usually used on a sympathy card.  I’ve got to say that these aren’t my favourite cards to make, but are given for a wonderful purpose.  It’s so nice to think that someone is thinking of you when your whole world can feel like it is tumbling down.

So here is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I have been playing with Hero Arts – Delicate Leaf Clusters and am in love!!  This is such a versatile set of stamps, they can be used to create a background, as the focal point on the card or even just to decorate a flower, and of course, they stamp beautifully!  Evelyn has heaps of new Hero Arts stock in at the moment, it makes it hard to choose, you should go have a look for yourself at Scrapbook Boutique.  I have linked the supplies that I have used below and you can visit Scrapbook Boutique Blog for a tutorial on how to make this card.

Today I thought I’d have a bit of fun with ink…  and I definitely got it everywhere!  I am now walking around with green fingertips… but it could be worse, I could have glitter all over my face…  actually, I probably do!  I thought I would join this week’s CASE Study Challenge as Jill’s card looked irresistable!  I was inspired by the basic layout as well as creating my own embossed background.  The muted colours that I used made me think this would make a nice sympathy card (I don’t plan on needing one just at the moment, but it is always handy to have one ‘ready to go’).

Pawprints on your Heart

 

I have been meaning to make some pet sympathy cards for a while now,  I think they are a great idea and they are hard to find.  Of course I didn’t make them until today when I needed one for a work friend.  Her cat has been very sick recently and finally lost her battle.  I tried to make this card a little cheerful, this digital stamp is just too cute & I hope it makes her smile (my cat is getting lots of cuddles today…. much to her disgust).
