Layering the Love

Happy Monday!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend.  I was finally able to feel some peace & comfort regarding the loss of my friend.  In my last post I mentioned that I wasn't up to making "love" projects.  But one thing that my friend truly demonstrated in her life was genuine love.  It poured out of her smile, words, hugs and her actions.  So in her honor, I made a "love" card. :)

This card was based on a sketch recipe from Papertrey Ink.  Let's begin with a detail picture:  (No, I didn't break the container next to the card, it's actually made that way.)  :)

The 3 little hearts at the top are from the border punch.

(Supplies: cardstock, heart border punch- Martha Stewart, stamps- Unity Stamp Co., Perfect Pearls in Pink Gumball, paint brush, Versa Mark ink, black ink)

Well, friends, this does it for me today.  Muchas gracias for stopping in today and make sure to go love your loved ones. :)

Happy Crafting,
Angie

P.S.  Just a reminder that the current challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges ends Thursday, Feb. 20.  Go get your projects posted. :D

Sincere Sympathy

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope that you are enjoying or enjoyed this special day with your special someone. :)

I know it's more fitting to post a love/friendship project, but with the loss of a friend, I decided to make a different card.  I was really shocked to receive the news earlier in the week, so my heart wasn't into "love" projects.  I apologize for the grainy picture, again.

I truly appreciate that you took the time to stop by.  Have a wonderful weekend & make sure your loved ones know how much you care. :)

 

Happy Crafting,

Perfect Pearls Projects

Hello All!

I am running on little sleep, so I hope my words on this post make sense. If not, please let me know.  :0)

Today I am sharing some cards that use Perfect Pearls.  I FINALLY got the chance to try them, and I really like them.  Perfect Pearls is a powder that you brush onto images stamped with Versa Mark ink.  And let me tell, they reflect the light beautifully.  Dark paper works best for this product.  Again, my apologies for the grainy pictures. 

I know I have shown you the following stamp before, so I'm sure you're bored with it.  But I like the mileage I'm getting out of it. :) 

(Supplies: cardstock, stamps- Stampendous! & Craft Smart, rhinestone- Bo Bunny, Perfect Pearls in Sour Apple & Pink Gumball, Versa Mark ink, small paint brush)

I am entering the next card to One Layer Simplicity Challenge.  The current challenge is to repeat an image or sentiment.  By the way, I used a pencil eraser to create the 3 dots in the top corner.  Who knew a simple school tool could be so handy in crafting? :)

Well, friends, time for me to head out.  Thank you for taking some time to visit my little world.  Have a great day. :D

Happy Crafting,
