Here is a quick little card I made yesterday afternoon in between my Stamp-A-Stack classes. I have some cards for sale at a local bird store and told them I would make some more “manly” looking cards since it was Father’s Day. I took a few last week and just didn’t get time to make anymore. I figured it was my last chance so I took an idea from the new catalog and made some slight changes. The color combination is actually on the color wheel – Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Old Olive and Bordering Blue. This is the Forest Friends stamp set. I added texture with the Big Shot and my texture plate. Edges are sponged on each layer. The owl is on dimensionals – which you can see because there is a shadow – along with the the other two layers.
Yesterday’s stamp-a-stack class was a lot of fun. I needed the break but did have a few interuptions – sorry about that.
Everyone made 6 cards with matching envelopes. I used three main stamp sets – Heartfelt Thanks, Wild About You and Bloomin’ with Love. Most of the cards I actually posted already. The Heartfelt Thanks cards we made included the one with the large scallop circle and the one with the Sweet Always striped paper – see my post from June 10th. The Wild About You cards we made included the Lion card with the Rainbow Sherbet paper – I wish I had bought that paper earlier – now it is sold out and I really liked it in person, and the Alligator card with the In-Colors – see my post from June 14th.
The last two cards used the Bloomin’ with Love stamp set and I’ll post those later.
These are all on the Last Chance List – they will be retiring at the end of June and no longer available to buy – so don’t hesitate. You can check on all the stamp sets, acessories and Decor Elements on the Last Chance List by clicking on the page in my side bar – under Helpful Information – click on Last Chance List.
Greg is doing a bit better – we talked to the doctor yesterday and he said they confirm that it was an infection and not something more. We now go back on Thrsday instead of Monday. I hope there is more improvement by Monday with the antibiotics he is on.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
