Muse #218 + FMS #290 + Simon Says Anything Goes

Waiting for a delivery trapped me at home for most of the day. What's a crafty girl to do, but head to her desk and play?

This card is being submitted to the Muse #218 challenge where we are celebrating Ardyth's birthday in style. Instead of giving us a card for inspiration, we were invited to pick any card Ardyth's extensive & fabulous portfolio. My need for a sympathy card sent me right to her Pinterest board and this perfect example.

Ardyth Percy-Robb

Turning the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #290 upside down and flipping it influenced my decision to move the focal to the bottom of the panel. The stamped tree is replaced with a die cut branch placed to allow a few leaves to overhang the popped up panel.

The sentiment from the Altenew Thinking of You was stamped after the masked area was inked with Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

In addition to linking this card to Freshly Made Sketches #290, it is being added to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge where Anything Goes this week.

 

Happy birthday, Ardyth!

CASology Week 251: MEDICINE

Welcome to Week 251 at CASology!

My husband and I were raised in very different cultures so it was a bit of a shock to discover we both grew up taking hot lemon & honey drinks when sick. This drink really is the best medicine for a sore throat. Without a honey image in my stash I had to get creative and hope this card makes sense to you.

A scrap of white cardstock is inked with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks before cutting the Memory Box Citrus Rounds die and Poppystamps Mod Hex die. Scraps of the inked panel were used to selectively cut the hexagon shape in the size needed for this design. The large ampersand die is from MFT and cut twice for stability as it is popped up over the other die cuts. Before adhering the die cuts, the Lawn Fawn sentiment is added to a Stitched Wonky Rectangle panel.

The Design Team cards are inspiring!

CASology Week 250: LOUD

Welcome to Week 250 at CASology!

I think the gallery is going to be full of fun cards this week with LOUD colors, sentiments and images! I went immediately to CASual Fridays Woot Woot stamp set and pulled out a few sentiments. This card was super fast to complete once I decided to heat emboss the sentiments in a trio of bright, loud colors directly onto the black card base.

The Design Team has more great ideas for you!
