A Card for Calvin

Oh, this summer has been brutal ... I really think they were trying to kill me at work ... anyway, I've had a chance to catch my breath and have lots of projects to share. To start, this is a card I made for my neighbor Calvin who lost his best friend Butch ... a very sweet chocolate lab.

The image is from Whipper Snappers, colored with Prismas and OMS. The border punch is from EK Success and the sentiment is computer generated.

Floral Sympathy Card

Unfortunately, I needed to make a sympathy card for a co-worker and dear friend who just lost her brother after a long battle with cancer. I just couldn't make myself use black and white, so I chose pink and brown instead.

The card stock and sentiment stamp (Mega Mixed Messages set) are from Papertrey Ink and the image is from a Stampendous set called Floral Swirls. I only inked and stamped a portion of the image. Both the image and the sentiment were stamped using brown ink. I added some ribbon and a few self-adhesive pearls.

For the inside, I printed a computer generated sentiment. Then, using Versamark Dazzle in the champagne color, I stamped the entire flower image over my sentiment.
