I haven't played along with the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday technique challenge in ages but, after seeing Lizzie's tutorial for MIM #248: Ink Blending Through Die Cut Masks and the colors ColourQ Challenge #341, I decided to make an anniversary card.
The masks were made with the PTI Limitless Layers heart die, PTI Framed Out #11 and a small unlabeled heart die and inked with Orange Zest, Raspberry Fizz and Berry Sorbet inks.
Two stamps from PTI's All My Heart are paired to create the sentiment before the scatter of rainstones added. This panel is layered asymmetrically on a Berry Sorbet panel that has a scalloped edge on one side and then popped up on the kraft card base.
Tomorrow is our 21st wedding anniversary and, even though the last two weeks have been the most challenging by far, I still love the guy with all my heart. Stefan's elbow is healing but it is going to be a long, slow process and he is not a guy that does well under restrictions. He's also a DIY guy, so when his new brace was bugging him, he went into the garage and brought me a hacksaw to trim it down a couple of inches. I can't wait to hear how his doctor reacts to this adjustment.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
