Odds and Ends...

Just a couple of cards I made in the last week or so that I wanted to share with you. The first is a confirmation card made for a friend to give away, and the second is a card I sent to a friend's dad, who is battling cancer right now.

Damask Designs (PTI) is such a versatile set, I just can't say it enough! The bible verse is computer generated and then stamped over in pink, embellished with a single pink rhinestone and tied up with Offray black satin ribbon.

I had the hardest time getting a clear picture of the 2nd card, so forgive the quality. It's a bit hard to see in the photo, but the chocolate layer is embossed with SU!'s argyle folder. To achieve the multicolored leaves, I first inked the entire stamp in mustard ink, then pumpkin and then a light touch of red ink here and there. After that, I wiped off most of the tree trunk ink off with a tissue and then inked the trunk and branches with a chocolate marker.

That's it for today, folks, but make sure you stop by tomorrow for my next Stamp Simply Challenge! In case you missed it, I'm lucky enough to be playing along with Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply crew this month as guest designer--whoo hoo!
