Congratulations!

Today I finished up a card for one of my younger daughters and her husband. They just sold their home, bought an RV that they will be living in until they build a home on their recently purchased 5 acres. It will be quite an adventure for them and their 3 children. 

This card is to congratulate them on their new NEST, the RV, that will be their home for at least a year. I haven't used these dies in quite a while but thought the birdhouse would be perfect.

I will be entering it in the current ColorThrowdown challenge. The colors at first stumped me, but thinking it through and pulling out different shades of SU colors helped make the process a little easier. 

PARTICULARS:

MFT Die-Namics: Stitched Sentiments Strips, Stitched Rectangle Frames, Birds of a Feather

SU Paper: Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay

Stamp: SU Something to Say

MFT Stencil: Colored the Mini Cloud Edges with Pool Party ink 

Ink: GinaK  Black Amalgam 

That's it for this evening. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and are able to do something you LOVE!

Blessings, 

Bernie

Congrats

Hello all. I'm posting a card today to link up to Freshly Made Sketches and a new site for me, The Flower Challenge #35.

The FMS sketches are great, but keeping them cleaned-lined and fresh sometimes is a challenge for me, but this card was created fairly quick. I must have had my mojo on yesterday.

I needed a card for my neighbor who is moving to a new house and she loves flowers. Hence, a card to congratulate her on her new home. The Flower Challenge blog calls for the floral to be the main feature, which I believe this card does.

PARTICULARS:

Paper: Neenah Solar White 110#, SU  Powder Pink, Berry Burst
Stamps: Altenew Garden Treasures, SU Simply Wonderful (SAB)
Ink: Memento Jet Black, Altenew Pink Diamond, Pinklicious, Fresh Leaf / Forest Glade Fresh Asparagus GinaK
Die-cut: SU  Oval Stitched Die

I hope you have a wonderful day and are able to do something you LOVE!

Blessings, Bernie

Butterfly Note Card

Hello all. Just popping in today with a Birthday Card which is a grouping of 4 note cards that I'm giving to my neighbor as a going away gift. I just used up almost the last piece of this pretty DSP that was available through SU's Sale-A-Bration promo. I do have some other patterns left, but not much. I received my inspiration from a gal on Pinterest but didn't use ribbon or a more recent Butterfly Stamp as she had. I will be linking this over at Seize the Birthday adding to my other 2 cards there.

PARTICULARS:
Paper: SU Botanical Butterfly, SU Balmy Blue, SU Black
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri w/ matching Punch (ret.), GinaK Wreath Builder sentiment
Ink: Memento Jet Black, GinaK Fine embossing powder used on the butterfly
Scallop Punch and Circle Punch by SU (ret.)
Size: 4 1/4x5 1/2

That's it for today. Have a good evening and go do something you LOVE!

Blessings, Bernie



The other cards that I made to add along with this note card:

Belated Birthday

Today I'm revisiting and redoing a card design that I entered into a blog challenge yesterday. I stepped this one up a little and I'm much happier with the outcome. Although it is a belated birthday card, I will be entering into the Seize the Birthday challenge.

PARTICULARS:

Stamp: MFT Wild Woodland with matching dies
MFT Grassy Edges
Prismacolor pencils/Gamsol
Ink: GinaK Amalgam Black
SU Balmy Blue, SU Mossy Meadow
Neenah Solar White 110# for base

That's it for tonight. It's been a busy day and I still need to clean up my crafting area. I hope you have a blessed Monday and are going to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,
Bernie
