Unfortunately I had to let go of my sweet Sir Dayton AKA Elsie’s Dayton last week. He got a lot worse in the past few weeks where he stopped eating and had blood in his urine. The decision was made to put him to sleep. So now he is with his Sweet Bis Kitty.
I also had to do another sympathy card for another friend who also lost her husband unexpectedly.
My inspiration for this card was two different things. My Lantana that is blooming outside and has been since spring.
Also a post from Wendy Lee where she used the new In Colors with this DSP. Which I did below mine did not seem to come out as dark but I am more of a subtles girl anyway so it works for me.
For this project you will need the following:
Paper/Inks
- Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Specialty Paper
- Basic Black Cardstock
- Whisper White cardstock
- Crushed Curry Cardstock
- Melon Mambo Classic Ink Pad
- Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pad
- Calypso Coral Classic Ink Pad
- VersaMark
Tools/Stamps
- Decorative Label Punch
- Embossing buddy
- Black Embossing powder
- Sponges
- Dauber
- Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set
Below I did some other samples of the same design.
Isn’t this just really cool paper? There are several patterns in the paper such as circles, stripes, diamonds, two floral patters with flourishes and a few more. It is so easy to create the color or style that you want with this paper. I just love it. Makes it look like I spent hours stamping out and heat embossing the entire pattern.
So when placing your order for this paper because, you know you need to have it, use hostess code YZTWMMRN. For all orders placed over $50 dollars are entered into the random hostess drawing and earn a virtual ♥. Collect 10 ♥ and receive a free stamp set from any current catalog ($30 max).
Thanks for stopping by to visit me today. Check back Saturday for a video tutorial on some of our other framelits.
Happy Craftin,
Amy
