MCV10 + ATSM153 & CTS131 + Virginia's View #16

I have a couple of cards to share today.  The family was driving somewhere on Sunday, talking about plans for the week, and my son said he'd been invited to the zoo with his friend and the friend's grandmother. That prompted me to ask about the grandfather, who I knew was in poor health. There was a moment of silence before my son said "he died". Ack, do not rely on a 16 year old boy to keep you informed. The poor kid had to listen to his dad & I for 10 miles let him know that is the kind of information he needs to pass on to us. I phoned to offer our condolences, but still wanted to send a card.




I was already planning to pair the PTI Graceful Greetings with my Hero Arts butterfly stamps to make a card based on the CAS(E) this Sketch #131, so this card came together very quickly. It is also being entered in Virginia's View Challenge #16 100% Stamped.




My second card is inspired by Chriss Blagrave's card for Muse: Christmas Visions #10 and the Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #153 Holiday.


GRAB OUR BADGE!



I love the colors and textures in Chriss's card and used an embossing folder to create a knit striped panel. The sentiment is made by combining a SSS die with a PTI stamp and a few sequins add a bit of shine.




A white and red die cut are layered for more stability and the white is trimmed off where the die cut is adhered to the green part of the panel.




Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
