Masculine Get Well Card

One of my clients is having ankle surgery tomorrow, so I made him this get well card.  It looks dark purple or black in the photo, but it really is Night of Navy.  I had trouble with all of my photos today.  It was sunny outside, so I don't know why the colors didn't want to come out right.

Stamps:  Classic Dad, Marsh Birds (sentiment)
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Night of Navy, DP
Ink:  Night of Navy
Misc:  ribbon, candy dots

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

Happy Stamping!

2 cards for you today

 

My first card for you today is the one I made for the Inspiration Challenge yesterday.  I used the newly released stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "What a Scream".  My inspiration was a Steiff black cat from Williams Sonoma. It's very simple, but I really like he way it turned out.

Stamps:  What a Scream
Paper:  Speedy Cat Black Linen, grey, MAMBI Halloween paper stack
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  Enamel dots

My second card is a very special card that I made yesterday.  There is a group called "Honor Flight Network" that flies WWII & Korean veterans to Washington DC to see their memorials at no cost to them.  They do an old fashioned mail call like they did back in the war days.  I don't know who will receive this card, but I hope they feel special when they receive it!  We owe these men & women our freedom today, and it was the least I could do.  The sentiment on the inside says "We thank those who have made our country strong.  Thank you for your service."  

Stamps:  Be Proud, USA Heroes (sentiment)
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Cherry Slush by MFP, Bo Bunny "Liberty" Collection
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  ribbon, flag charm, Spectrum Noir Pens

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

Rain Rain go Away Get Well Card

This is another card that I made yesterday (Sunday) for the Featured Stamper challenge over on SCS.  I really like the way it turned out.  Maybe I'll make a couple more today so have in my stash.  I used the stamp set "Rain Clouds" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Co.  I'm debating whether to take off the bow though.  Not sure it adds anything to the card.

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Sunshine & Sprinkle DSP
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black, Marina Mis
Misc:  nesties, cloud EF, ribbon, Spectrum Noir Pens

Black & White Tree

I made this card for today's Featured Stamper challenge over on SCS.  In fact I made 3 cards honoring "Luvlee".  She has a beautiful gallery.  I'll show you the other cards I made later in the week.  I used Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamp set "Tree Selections" for my tree, and the sentiment is from the "Mini Birthday" set.  I really like this layout, and may use it for other cards.
