Hmmmm????? Wonder where that title came from???? lol! I am in desperate need of praying/thinking of you and sympathy cards lately. Not good. I pulled out this week's sketch challenge over at scs and immediately wanted to use the level one hostess set,
Of the Earth for the square images. But, I dug around looking for something else that might stike my fancy, just in case....no luck....I had my mind set on
Of the Earth! I really like this set....the bird images and the single stem flower are just gorgeous, in my opinion. I also wanted to card to have a spring feel to it.
wanna see????
I knew I wanted to use soft, springy colors. I went to my
store stash of designer series papers and pulled out the
Pawsitively Prints pack. It was designed to be used with the
Build A Bear dies made exclusively for Stampin' Up!. The delicate patterns lend thenselves well to the clothing prints. I have also found that they are wonderful for so much more!!
The card came together pretty well.....just about exactly what I had in mind. Here is a closer look at the goodness.
I even stamped the inside.....sorry this picture is fuzzy - for some reason, my camera would not focus right on it. ARGH!!!!!! I didn't stamp a sentiment, though, I may use this as a note card to send to a friend. If not, I can always add the sentiment when I need to send it out. Makes me feel that I made it just then.... ;) hehehe!
Tip Alert**** One more thing!!! If I weren't going to use a padded envelope to mail this card, I would definitely cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and run it through the
paper crimper to lay over the front to protect the pearls from the postal service machines.
stamps: Of the Earth, Matchbox Messages, Thoughts and Prayers
card stock: certainly celery, blush blossom, very vanilla, pawsitively prints designer series paper
ink: pretty in pink, old olive ( both stamped off before stamping)
accessories: 5/8 inch vanilla satin ribbon, pretties kit flat backed pearls, stampin' dimensionals
What do you think?
