Peaceful Season

I love this set!!

This card was cased from Dawn Olchefske, a fellow Demo.

The holly was inked up with Always Artichoke Ink. I then removed the ink from the berries with a blender pen and colored them with Cherry Cobbler. This was stamped and stamped again to get the double stamped effect.

Next I inked up the sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamped on the front of the card. There is a small Basic Rhinestone dotting the "I" in greetings.
The botom of the card was punched with the Pinking Hearts border punch and a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock was placed under this to make it stand out against the Always Artichoke card base. Always Artichoke seam binding is tied on the front for an embellishment.

The inside of the card has a white copy paper Top note die cut to make the verse from Many Merry Messages more visible. I inked up the holly image again as I did for the front of the card and stamped off before stamping onto the Top note die cut. I repeated the stamped off image on the envelope to tie everything together.




Have a great day!

Birthday Gift

It's been a long weekend here in New Brunswick and we couldn't have asked for a nicer one, weather wise. Yesterday we went to my husbands aunt's home where she was holding her annual "Pool Party," she has also recently turned 80 years old.

I made this set of cards for her as a thank you/birthday gift. She is a quilter so I felt these would be used well by her. She was pleased with the gift.
I was inspired by Chiaki Haverstick's set found on her blog. http://stampingpro.com/tea-party-top-note-box

Paper: Greenhouse Gala DSP, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Baha Breeze.

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Baha Breeze

Stamp Sets: Oval All, and Perfect Punches both from the new Idea Book and Catalogue

Accessories: 1 1/4" square punch, Wide Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch and Modern Label punch, Buttons and ribbon are retired except for the ribbon on the Pumpkin Pie card, this is white satin Ribbon that has been colored with the Peach parfait marker; I tried the pumpkin pie marker but found it way too dark. Topnote die with the bigshot, window sheet and adhesives.




Thank you for stopping by!
