A Surprise Post

 Hello!

Is it a surprise that I'm posting at all?  Probably, especially so soon.  Is the card a surprise?  Not really.  You see, while life got busier, I was able to make a couple of cards before I tore into my room for a re-do/clean-up.  However, I was less than efficient, in other ways.  In fact, I also made two masculine Birthday cards, and while Hubbs was so excited that I got them done before the Birthdays, he forgot to let me photograph and post the cards before sending them off -- oy!!
So while I can't post those cards, I do have another one that I found matches the FMS #733 sketch - SURPRISE!!  While I actually made this card at the end of March, it works great ~


First, a base was heat foiled in Opal on soft pink, then a doily cut in white, and a partial ink blended panel, cut down to size and a sentiment pressed to match.  I also cut an additional sentiment panel in white and offset it -- hindsight, maybe it could've worked better in a darker color, perhaps pink?


Other than a few minutes for the inking, this card was relatively quick!

Oops!  I missed it - drats!

And speaking of SURPRISEs... here's another QAS card made back in March ~


An ink blended panel, the same as above except in a different color, then cut down with the NBUS frame die.  After placing the stamped/die cut sentiment, I decided that before adding it, another smaller vellum panel would work nicely for its mat.  A few gems were added for bling.


Oh!  Another card that will work for JUGs #820 Stencil week and NBUS #85.
Yep, another win on a QACAS card!  

 


Supplies:
   Card #1 - Splb Diagonal Stripes hfp; MFT Scalloped Doily; PTI In The Meadow stencil; Splb A Little Message sentiment pp
   Card #2 - PTI In The Meadow stencil (in a different color); PB Antique Frame die; sorry, I forgot where I got the sentiment!

I hope your week is an amazing, crafty one.  I have another busy week, then Hubbs will be leaving for a week or so.  Will that leave me extra time?  Not likely, as I'm really late in getting my garden set out!  I hope your week is more relaxing, but thanks again for the visit.

Hugs,
TK

I love that In The Meadow stencil set too TK and you've made 2 BEAUTIFUL cards using it!! I love the foiling on the 1st card and just a portion of the stenciling on the side of the card, and then the bright yellow/gold colors on the 2nd card! They are both winners in my book!! Hugs. :0)
