Happy Anniversary to my Brother & SIL

 Hi! It's been eons since I have posted anything. It's been a crazy year but I guess you all know that plus my daughter moved states for a new job and I helped her with that.

Here is a card that I made for my brother & sister-in-law's anniversary.



I ink blended the background and then spritzed with water. I cut that panel down to 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ and then taped it directly to the card base.  For the sentiment I pieced together two sentiment stamps which I really hate doing. I never get them lined up properly. I popped up the cacti on foam tape and then added the clear Nuvo drops. I like how the color shows through after they are dry. I definitely need to practice on those drops though. Some are pretty lopsided.

Hopefully it won't be another 9 months before my next card :-) Thanks for looking!!

Supplies:

Stamps: A Second Helping of Sunshine (pti)

Paper: White, Tropical Teal, New Leaf, Green Parakeet, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Canyon Clay (pti)

Dies: To The Point (Concord & 9th)

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Distress Oxides (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin)

Other: Morning Dew (Nuvo Crystal Drops); black marker to do the exclamation point, foam tape, blending brushes

  2. I love the ink blending. I was waiting for a pun like “stuck on each other” or something like that. I’m sure they loved it!

  3. That would have been a better sentiment. I'm saving it for next time :-)
