You are so Kind

Good afternoon. I'm here today posting a card that I will be linking to CAS(E)#338 Sketch challenge and the Flower Challenge.

I needed to add some thank you cards to my stash and decided to use the Poppy stamp and sentiments by GinaK Designs Inspiring Poppies set which were lacking some love.

I heat embossed the flower with WOW Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder, added the sentiment and layered the pieces that I cut with the MFT Stitched Rectangles to a piece of SU Melon Mambo and then to a Neenah Solar white 110# base. I finished it off with SU Noble Peacock Rhinestones. Since I did not have Melon Mambo ink I used Altenews Rubellite Ink Cube to stamp the sentiment.


That's it for today. I need to make a card for one of my sons and some extra masculine birthday cards this coming week. We were blessed to get very little of the effects of Hurricane Dorian here in our neck of NC. Lots of rain and wind, but thankfully no damage. My heart and prayers go out to those poor people in the Bahamas. I can't even imagine that extent of the damage.

Have a great and blessed weekend and go do something you LOVE!

Blessings,
Bernie

Happy Birthday To You

I'm posting a card today that I just finished up for my oldest sons birthday on Friday. It's hard to believe he will be 50! I still can remember most of the details of that day.

I decided to make another card using the Sailing Home Stamp Set with matching dies and the Come Sail Away DSP.  This will be my go-to choice for all the men in my family for the year.  I'll be posting this over at Seize the Birthday, where the TOPPINGS was to make a square card.  I make very few 5x5 cards, although I do like them it placement and layout was a bit of a challenge.

I stamped and cut the sailboats and the compass with a stitched round die which fit perfectly. On the large sailboat and the wheel, I added dimensionals.


PARTICULARS:

Paper: Neenah Solar White 110# for the base, SU Soft Suede, SU Night of Navy, Come Sail Away DSP
Ink: SU Soft Suede, Night of Navy, Memento Jet Black Ink
Stamp: MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes
Dies: MFT  Stitched Sentiments Strip Die-Namics, SU Stitched Circle Die

That's about it for this evening. I hope you had a wonderful and restful day

 and got to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Bernie
