Sending You Strength

 Happy Saturday! Today I am linking a card over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog challenge. I really liked the layout. I had already put this paper aside to use for a card for my cousin and felt it worked perfectly with the sketch. She just was diagnosed with uterine cancer and wanted to send some love and encouragement her way.

I chose the MFT Brilliant Butterflies Stamp and Dies stamped in AltenewPink Diamond & Frayed Leaf. I used StazOn Jet black ink for the extra wings and the sentiment. The sentiment is from MFTS's Deepest Sympathy and cut it with one of the smaller labels from SU's Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

That will be all for today. I'm going to do some more sorting and purging. There seems to never be an end to that chore! I hope you have a restful weekend.

Blessings, Bernadette

Thanks For All You Do

 

Hello all. I'm on here today to link a card over at The Card Concept 155 challenge. The sketch sparked my interest because of the Bee Hive and the Yellow flowers. I love working with anything that includes Bees and that's what certainly drew me to enter the challenge. My friends and family refer to me as Bernie Bee or Queen Bee and I have a Boyd Bears collection in Bee attire. I also love yellow flowers and the yellow and black combo.

PRODUCTS USED:

Stamps: SU Honey Bee w/matching small die, MFT Bitty Thanks & Gratitude, Altenew Mini Daisy

Paper: SU Basic White, Black and So Saffron Card Stock

Ink: SU So Saffron, Old Olive which was added to the flowers and bee using a water pen. The image was stamped with Stazon' Black 

That will be all for today. I'm off to create a card for one of my family members who just had a negative health report 3 days ago. Stay safe and well and enjoy your day!

Blessings, Bernadette

Thanks A Bunch

 Just a quick drop by today. Last week and this past weekend have been busier than usual. Today I took a breathe and created a CAS card for my daughter who made me a complete Mother's Day meal yesterday. She did a fantastic job! Thanks, Adrienne.

I chose to link this card over at CAS C&S challenge which this week was a color challenge. I incorporated two stamp sets and the 3 colors that were used for the challenge. I cut two of the honeycomb dies, one in Basic Gray and one in Smokey Slate both being cut from SU CS. I inlaid some of the pieces from the Smokey Slate with pieces from the Basic Grey cut.

PRODUCTS:

Stamp Sets: MFT Bitty Thanks and Gratitude, Altenew Mini Delight: Bee Kind, SU Honey Bee die, MFT Distressed Patterns

That is for today. I need to clean up my craft desk and get to sorting paper and purging. I tend to think of all the projects on my TO DO list and get overwhelmed. I was good for a while, then fell off the purging wagon! One project at a time usually gets the projects done. So am on that road this week. We will see how it goes! 

Have a great Monday.

Blessings, Bernadette
