Sympathy and Prayers

The PTI anniversary challenge for today asks us to create a project with supplies gathered in 5 minutes.  I used the Triangle Cover Plate, Distress inks and Keep it Simple Sympathy stamps.

I took my inspiration from the photo at the Pinterest Inspired Challenge

My next card is white on white with a sentiment in Delicata Gold, and I took inspiration from the challenge at Less is More, where they are celebrating their 5th birthday.

I cut the PTI Peony Cover Plate out of white card stock and adhered it to a white card base.  I stamped my sentiment onto a stitched sentiment flag and popped it up with foam tape.

I am also linking this card up at Addicted to CAS #81:  Bloom and Addicted to Stamps and More #179:  Clean and Simple.

I will be sending this cards along to Jennifer McGuire for her Lasting Hearts card drive to comfort mothers who have lost a child.

Just Three Cards

Happy Sunday everyone.  My girls have been on winter break and my parents came down for a visit, so not too much crafting time this week.  I do have a couple of things to share, however.  This first card uses a stencil made out of a cover plate as taught in this week's Make it Monday #201.  I used the Triangle Cover Plate, and colored my embossing paste with a few drops of Harvest Gold reinker. I was going for a partial look, so was purposefully messy around the edges and did not use the entire cover plate.  

I am also linking up at ColourMe #59 and Simon Says Wednesday, where the challenge is to add a little texture.

Don't groan, but I used more paint chips (showing different wood stains) on this next card.  I was inspired by this heart, and thought about making something similar using all different types of wood grain.  I used a 1 inch square punch and then cut the squares along the diagonal to create 2 right triangles from each square.  My sentiment is a die cut word from SSS, layered up 3 times and then covered with Glossy Accents.

I made this last card with my mom--she wanted a card for a friend turning 80, so I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #111.

My mom is very short and my oldest daughter is very tall--I love this picture I took of the two of them right before my parents left my house.

That's it for me today.
