It Is Well

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm sharing a sympathy card made for my step-mom after the passing of my step-dad.  Because of my own health problems it's taken me longer than I would have liked to make this.  Dusted off some older stamp sets that I had yet to use from Our Daily Bread Designs which is now Divinity Designs.  I have a very hard time making sympathy cards as it is although I'm not sure why.

I started out by stamping the hymn It Is Well in memento black onto vellum card stock then stamped The Mighty Sea in weathered wood distress ink before coloring with chalk and layering. I used two silver brads along with vellum glue dots to hold the vellum hymn over the colored sea shore before adding everything onto a blue card stamped with the same sea shore in faded jeans distress ink.  Silver cord ribbon with a silver heart charm finish the front off.

For the inside, I stamped sayings from both The Mighty Sea and With Deepest Sympathy.

Kneeling Santa

Hello and welcome.  Sharing today a last minute Christmas card I've made for a few challenges using the retired Reason For The Season, although you can still get just the Santa image here from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I've had this set for years and have never used it until now.  Can you say BIG mistake??

After stamping my image in memento black and coloring using copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz scattered straw and old paper distress inks to "age" it a bit before layering and adding brushed gold mini brads.  I decided to do the same for the card front saying.  I then repeatedly stamped another saying from the set in memento rhubarb stalk ink to create my background before stippling Stampin Up real red ink around the edges.  The only additional embellishments used is a small red bow, gold cord, and some Making Memories paper poinsettias from my stash.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Pammies Inky Pinkies #1850 - Anything Goes
Not Just Cards December 2018 - Anything Goes
