Just a quick card today that I made a couple of weeks ago. Even though the card could be romantic, I actually made it with my BFF, Diane, in mind. We've been best friends for almost 15 years...she handed me a tissue when I started crying during our first week of graduate school (I wasn't used to getting chewed out by profs), and we've been best buds ever since. Anyhoo, I wanted to make a sweet card for her with her favorite color (PINK!):
I channeled
Karen Baker in this card. She is such a talented designer and uses inks amazingly well. So, in this card, I stamped 3 (maybe 4?) different hearts from various
Lawn Fawn sets and heat embossed them. Then, I sponged a slightly lighter pink ink over the hearts and wiped away the ink on the resist (I'm not even sure if I'm saying that right, but yadda, yadda, you know what I'm talking about). Here's a close-up of the hearts:
The sentiment is from the "Beautiful You" set by
Verve...great sentiment set I got off Craigslist super cheap a while back (thank goodness Mr. Stamping Stranger-Danger wasn't waiting for me!).
As an aside, thank you for all of the super supportive comments you left on my last post (well, all posts!). I so appreciate it!! Anyhoo, have a great night or morning!
Awe, that is so sweet! Karen is amazing! I love your color combination it is so fun and fresh!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love how bright and cheerful this is!
ReplyDeleteSo striking and cute! Love your composition and colors of this card!!
ReplyDeleteI would never really like to meet Mr. Stamping Stranger-Danger at all! I would however, thing it would be unbelievably fun to stamp with you some day! Your card is awesome! I love the color combination, I love how the hearts balance out the sentiment and how the beautiful large bow completes the rule of three for a perfect design! Fabulous card that I'm sure your friend will truly love and appreciate. I couldn't find time to comment on your cards below due to being away on vacation but they are equally fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and cute card! love the stamp heart!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Jocelyn! I know your friend is going to love it. That is one of my favourite sentiments. It's always good to channel Karen Baker... and there's the pink and yellow combo again (I keep seeing that - a trend I wasn't told about?)!
