Sympathy Greeting Card

The Quietfire Design sentiment is stamped on cream cardstock and cut with the Spelbinders Label four die. I then sponged Vintage Photo Distress ink and dusted with bronze Perfect Pearls. The photo of my quilt is printed on watercolour paper and the edges are distressed with a Making Memories distressing tool and layered over a heavier cardstock distressed with the Distrez-it-all tool and both have Memento Rich Cocoa rubbed on the edges. This is layered on a green embossed cardstock then a dark brown and a cream card base. The words inside are "I hope your memories will soon comfort you like a warm blanket of love."

This is the card project for Sat. May 22 at Cherish The Thought. The rubber stamped and embossed image on this card is coloured with Tombow markers, then the image is attached to black card with Sookwang tape. The red card front panel is embossed with the Tim Holtz Bingo embossing folder and attached to a black card base. The flower and a blue rhinestone adds a bit of bling. A bit of a challenge for me doing this card as I haven't done much with any markers before.

Satuday Product Launch Projects

Jessie from Cherish The Thought had lots of new products arrive last week so she had a launch party on Sat. and that meant we were in the classroom for Neat Nique and made not one project, but 4. We got to try out Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz, Tsukineko Walnut Inks, Staz-On Metallic Ink with Refills and used these with Tim Holtz Embossing Folders and Tim Holtz BigZ dies including the borders.
It was a very fun day and of course I got in some retail therapy afterwords. Now I need to collect up my ATC binder and geat ready for an afternoon of swapping with ATC Vancouver at The Grind.
