I punched out & hand-cut a couple of the flowers in the paper to make my own flower embellishments.
I also decorated the inside this time and added a verse stamp. This card is headed tomorrow to a friend that's facing a tough week.
Supplies:
Cardstock - Georgia Pacific, Bazzill
Papers - American Crafts
Brads - MM
Ribbon - Michael's
Stamp - Stampendous (card front), Sweet 'n Sassy (inside verse)
Tools - Spellbinders Lacey Circles, Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder, Fiskars border punch, Paper Studio circle punches
Ink - Colorbox Fluid Chalk, Memento Tuxedo Black, CM journaling pen, Gelly Roll Clear Star pen
The heart isn't really gray. I used a Gelly Roll pen to add a little sparkle and it photographed gray. :( I sure wish sparkle wasn't so hard to photograph. Speaking of photographing....I tried a new set-up to get better lighting. I followed some tips Patter Cross had on her blog Triple the Scraps in a post from Feb. 2009, Photographing Projects, to set up my "studio." In my case, I took a white blanket, spread it over the back of the couch & a photo box (for height). It's the closest I could get to natural light today since it's raining here. Our daughter's cat thinks the back of the couch is his domain so he was my supervisor. I couldn't resist sharing this picture of him observing {& patiently waiting to get his perch back} with you since he's looking so handsome. :)
