There's Just No One Quite Like You

 Good day, Friends!

It seems my life is in constant flux at this time, which doesn't leave much time for creating.  That being said, I have a card that I finished from.... well February!  This card is for a co-worker moving on to greener pasture, but she needed to know that not only will I miss her, but she's been a tremendous resource for me!

Here's her card ~

From the February PFS Craft Event, I started this card but never finished it.  The front is actually two full die-cuts woven together and scored about 1/2" at the time.  It is this score that was glued between the black base and the white inner panel, allowing the die-cuts to form a front card panel.  The sentiment was embossed in white and placed over the small hole, allowing you to stamp or write, without seeing it from the outside.  However, finishing the card and writing in it, I promptly forgot that minute detail, so a bit of my handwritten sentiment shows.  Oops!  I believe she will love it anyway...

Here's a close-up of the dimension ~

This card was a Jennifer McGuire "Make & Take" from the February event -- I love the design!

Supplies:

   PF - Citrus Twist stamp, die, stencil

Thank you for the visit -- have a great day!

Friends & Strength

 Hello!

I have a couple cards to share today, I know, a rarity these days.  These cards started from a recent PFS Craft Along.  While I was late getting to the event, I was also quickly pulled away again due to family matters.  The first card was made CASEing Lea Lawson and her event creation ~

Love, love, love this stenciling and colors for the background!  I'm second-guessing the use of ivory glitter cs on a white cardbase, but Hubbs says it works due to the colors, white cs and white border on the die cuts.  Here's a close-up to hopefully catch a bit of shimmer from the glitter frame and foiled flowers!

Nope!  No shimmer or shine there!  A bit of overcast skies...

Then there were leftover flowers, so the second card became a reality, especially since I needed a Sympathy card due to another family member passing ~

Another glimpse with shine ~

Supplies:

   (1) PFS Sakura stamps, dies & stencils; Fancy Oval Frame; Simple Plaid stencil (NBUS); Stitched Rectangle die; Ivory glitter cs; Blush glitter drops; and green vellum

   (2) PFS Sakura washi & dies; Notched Corner Frame die; gold glitter cs; clear Iridescent drops; and white vellum; and Splb -  A Little Message pp 

Thank you for the visit, and I hope everything will be back to normal (whatever that is) soon!

Hugs,

Thinking of You Everyday

Hello again, long time no see!

My craft time has been scarce, a family matters have kept me pretty busy and it isn't over yet!  However, I was able to sneak away and make a card, ala Heather of House Built of Cards.   I needed a card for friend, who underwent unexpected surgery, and hopefully this will help during her time of recovery ~

I used a bit different colors, and while I like it, I do prefer Heather's colors a bit more.  While the flowers were a soft pink, she used a light lavender (gray undertones) to provide the shading without changing the flower colors.  While my colors provided shading, you really can see the lavender.  Another change up was that I added some flowers flat to the base, others with a thin foam, and the middle bunch with a thicker foam.  My golden leaves were tucked here and there.  Here's a close-up to show a bit more of the gold shimmer and shine ~

Boy!  I'm not sure I enjoy this view... 

while you can see more shine, my flowers look totally smudgy!!!

My card base appears pink but it is actually PTI Lavendar Moon so it has a pinkish lavender to it, which totally works!  Since these are new products, I'll enter this over at NBUS #63NBUS #63.

Supplies:

   PFS - Sakura stamp, die & stencils; Leafy Branch die; Stitched Rectangle die

Thank you for the visit and have a beautiful Sunday!

Hugs,
