I am back from convention. I got home about 10 pm last night and I am tired. Convention was just a big WOW! As always they get better every year. Announcements, give-a-ways, prize patrol, classes, demos, swaps, everything is just the best. If you are a demo and haven’t been make plans now to attend next year. If you are not a demo then call me today and sign up with the $99 Starter Kit special so you can come with me next year. I’ll be posting for the next week or two (or more) with things from convention. Today I thought I would share the swap card that I made for the STARZ meeting. Wendy Randall is my upline and her group is the STARZ group – there were about 20 or so of us that got together on Wednesday night for a meeting, swaps, sharing and make&takes.
This was the very last thing I did right before I left for convention – in fact I actually finished putting them together at the airport and on the airplane on Tuesday while I was traveling.
The base of the card is the new Lucky Limeade card stock. Then I added a piece of the Hostess Designer Series paper called Cheerful Treat – I used three different patterns of the paper and I’ll add the pictures of the other two below.
Below the DSP is a strip of Pink Pirouette card stock that was punched with the Eyelet Border punch.
The main image is from the On the Grow stamp set in the Summer Mini catalog. I love these flowers. I stamped them on a Whisper White circle that was punched with the 2-1/2″ circle punch using StazOn Black ink and then watercolored the image with an aquapainter. I used Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade and Bashful Blue ink. This is layered on a scallop circle of Wisteria Wonder. I added doodles with the White Gel Pen and the “thinking of you” sentiment down at the bottom.
Here are the other versions:
Have a great day!
Your roomie showed us your present to her on the plane home. May I please be your roomie next year? Your card holder with the chalk area below it to put comments was fantastic. I got to meet you one morning during breakfast at the Shilo. I felt like I was meeting a Hollywood star. Thanks for all the inspiration you give me.
