Another Black & White Card


I thought I would try another card for today's SCS Limited Supply challenge. I used the new Printed Window Sheets for the background design and the saying is from the Matchbox Messages stamp set - both available for purchase on April 1st. The card was a little hard to take a picture of because the window sheets are very reflective. Laying it on a blue blanket worked the best. The new window sheets are interesting and looked like etched glass. I love the Organza Whisper White Ribbon, it is so sheer and elegant! Thanks for stopping by - have a great weekend!

Inks: Basic Black
Papers: Whisper White, Basic Black

Black & White Viola Card


Black & White - Today's SCS Limited Supply Sketch. I have admit that this was a little hard for me to come up with a card, but I think it turned out ok.

Don't Faint - Another Post!!



That makes 2 in one day! I made this card for the SCS Weekend Sketch and used the new Scallop Oval Punch that is available to order April 1st. It fits inside the large oval punch perfectly. I thought I would try using Perfect Plum and Pale Plum for this challenge; colors that I haven't pulled out for awhile. I sponged the edges with Perfect Plum. Thanks for stopping by - now that Richard is on the mend, I should be able to do more stamping!

No Posts

Sorry about not posting any projects lately. Richard has been in the hospital since the end of February and I haven't had a whole of time to do much of anything! The good news is that he might come on Wednesday. Long/short story - he had an imflammation in his lower intestines that eventually led to a small hole, and he had to have emergency surgery.

I am still planning on having my stamp camp on Sunday, March 22nd at 2:00 p.m., and we will be using products from the new Spring Mini!
