“The best mirror is an old friend.” 

“A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling. ” 

Friendship

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.”

 Hello everyone!  Another Labels twenty card today from the 4 Day Deal shows (which were only really two days!)   I started with a pale blue background that I embossed with the Mystic Embossibility folder.  Since the background is larger than the folder, I needed to extend it which is easily done by moving the background along and matching the pattern in your folder before embossing a second time.  Using black card, I cut two of the lovely scrolly corners from the Samantha Walker Botanical Swirls and Accents set and glued them in opposite corners.  I cut the largest size of the labels 20 out of white card as a backdrop for my focal element. On pale blue card, I stamped the Justrite Kindness stamp using a clear perfect medium ink pad and white embossed it.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre using a black archival ink pad.  I cut it out with the matching die shape and then used the die to create a faux nestie as a mat.
 (A faux nestie is where you trace around the die shape with a pencil and cut the shape by hand.  This gives you a slightly larger size to use as a mat).  I tied a messy bow out of white seam binding and added a fancy black button (from my craft stash) to the centre.  To finish off the card, I added a couple of black pearl stick pins, some black rhinestone swirls as accents and I paper pierced the edges of the mat.   I just love the way the matching stamps just add that extra little bit to pull the whole card together, don't you?  All for now,

Creative Hand Made CARDS


Good Day Friends

Have you missed me? I've sure missed visiting you! Things are finally slowing down a bit! I am so over painting! I've painted for every weekend since we decided to do the coffee shop. Everything sure looks nice and I'm really glad that part is done!
I had some time to play this morning so I checked out the Mojo sketch... lots of luscious layers! My card base is whisper white layered with marina mist and MME honey cake dp. The focal image is from SU mixed bunch and the sentiment is from trust God. This was so much fun! I promise you will see a little more of me now! I will be around to pay you a visit!
