Does this ever happen to you?
I have a rather large desk on which I stamp. It's very organized...until I start stamping. Why do I pull out a hundred items (and leave them all over my desk) just to stamp one card? AND I end up having a 6" x 10" area on which to stamp!!! ARGH! Geez...this was prep for an upcoming Card Club, and I can guarantee that the attendees will love their card, but I felt like I bombed my craft room while making it...
OK, on to a REAL card:
A colleague at work recently lost his family dog. Those of us who have been dog owners probably understand the sorrow he and his family are going through. I wanted to acknowledge their feelings, and pulled out an old, but wonderful, stamp, D is for Dog.
My card base is
Basic Gray, with a layer of
Basic Black. Then I took a piece of
Watercolor Paper and did a
Soft Sky wash, using my reinker and an
Aquapainter. When this dried, I adhered it to my card.
I cut a piece of Basic Black using my
Stitched Shapes framelits (you HAVE to have these!!!), and heat embossed the pawprint with
White Embossing Powder. I also cut a small scalloped border with the "vintage" scallop border punch (retired).
To highlight the pawprint I pupped up a square frame (cut
Silver Foil with two sizes of the
Layering Squares framelits) using
Foam Adhesive Strips (oh, there's a "scrunch" of
Silver Thread in the corner), and then added a scribbly heart, cut with
Swirly Scribbles.
The wonderful sentiment (from the same stamp set) was cut using the
Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits, and I finished with a Soft Sky
Enamel Shape heart.
A nice way to honor a family friend...
