Mid Week Crafting Update

It's a good week when I can sneak into my craft room off and on and get 4 cards made by Wednesday.

I used my new PTI Stuck on You die to create a rainbow of bandages for this vibrant and fun get well card.  Obviously, I could only send this card to someone who wasn't seriously ill.  I am entering this card at Make it Monday #314: Color Wheel and CAS-ual Fridays #194: Beautiful Rainbows challenges.

With bright colors on my mind, I created a card using the PTI balloon stencil that I am entering at Just Us Girls #340: Balloons and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.

It seems like I am always needing sympathy cards--when I invite my family and friends to help themselves to cards from my stash, sympathy cards are amongst the most popular.  I was inspired by the challenge at Less is More #366: Monochrome and CAS on Friday #127 One Layer Wonder to create the next two cards. 


This card is Memento Grey Flannel and Versafine Onyx Black ink on PTI Soft Stone Paper.

This card is Versafine Onyx Black ink on kraft paper.

That's it for me today.  Sherlock and I are off to visit the patients at our local nursing home.  Come back tomorrow to see what I have for our current challenge at Time Out #104.

With Deepest Sympathy

Hello and happy Friday.  I'm here with a quick post with a card for the first day of PTI's 8th anniversary celebration.

I masked off a rectangle, and used a stamp from Ombre Builders to fill the space.  I die cut 2 butterflies from Life is Beautiful--one in Aqua Mist and one in Vellum, adhered them with a skinny bit of score tape just in the middle, and stamped my sentiment from Words of Comfort on a Double Ended Banner die.  I used white pearls that I colored with a Copic Marker to decorate the center of the butterfly and also to hide the adhesive.  I ran my front panel through my Big Shot once with the Canvas/Linen Impression Plate and then again with the LID Side Stitched Rectangle die.

I also ended up rotating the sketch.
