Happy Tuesday, peeps! I am thrilled that I've been asked to be on the Stamp Ink Paper DT on a permanent basis! Today's challenge is cardmaker's choice!
Honestly, this was more difficult than I imagined, because I have SO MANY favorites!! My favorite on any given day might change with the season, my mood or the holiday! Anyway, I decided in the end on this sweet bird from Red Lead, along with some other images I randomly stamped on some pretty Pool Party-hued paper from Fancy Pants:
It wasn't hard to choose my favorite color, and I love birds, and I love collage stamping, and I love shabby ribbon, so the rest was easy! There are feathers, eggs, lace and postmarks, all stamped in various shades.....the eggs (Nature Walk) were colored with some ink and a blender pen, cut out and popped up:
I added a tag, also lightly stamped with a honeycomb design:
and the inside sentiment was stamped over the egg image as well! I never have enough get well cards, so this is beginning my stash! I'll have the supply list at the bottom!
Just thought I would share a photo from the weekend get-together with John's family! Here are some amazing women that I am blessed to have in my family:
Me, John's sister Mimi, John's sister-in-law Colleen, and John's stepmother, Trish! Mimi is a great hostess and we had a wonderful brunch together. And here are a few of the guys...they seem to be deep in discussion, probably solving the world's problems:
John's BIL Charlie, his stepfather Bob, John, and Dana's boyfriend Wayne! I think the girls were having more fun than the guys, though, LOL!
Enjoy your day and thanks for popping in!

ReplyDeleteWow ~ can't say enough about this card as I LOVE every single stamp and detail! But, I also love what I can see of this home - lights and greens on the bannister and in the window plants, the porch details through the lace panels. How lovely! Happy New Year!
