Hello everyone, Sorry I have been away for so long. My daughter had a diagnosis of Stage 3 Melanoma and as you can imagine it threw us for a loupe. I have been staying at her home helping her the past several weeks. She has one more test at MD Anderson this week to check spots that had been on the pet scan she had done. So far one has come out clear of cancer.
This is a card I had a request for this week. The favorite colors are brown and pink. As usual I use my envelope to determine the size of my card. I had a lot in mind for this one .I chose the dark brown as my card base. I would say this card is at least 5 by 8 and 1/16 . I cut a pink card stock to go over that and it was about 1/8 smaller than the brown card . I found a printed brown paper that I liked so I cut that about maybe 4 by 4. (Ya'll are going to have to realize I just eyeball my cards and don't really measure anything.) Anyway I cut a piece of pink paper and a piece of dark brown card stock both 1/8 " shorter than the other. Next came the white and its a bit smaller than the 1/8" measurement. I judged from the stamp itself and I mounted this stamp and I think its 4 by 4. I used SU markers to color the picture. I started gluing the cards together. As you can see I used a punch to make a scalloped border on the brown printed paper. I glued the flowered paper, the pink brown and white card on the bottom half of the card. The white card was mounted with dimensions . On the four corners of the picture I put pink buttons with the med. stick ems . I next cut some strips with the dotted scalloped ribbon punch and made three strips all together. On the computer I printed the words I wanted on the card on card stock and used a scalloped punch to cut them out. I placed the ovals , put brown dots all around them and tucked the scalloped ribbon under each word and glued them in placed with dimensions . At the top of each ribbon I glued a button with the med stick ums and next glued some small plastic safety pins at the top pf each oval. The pink ribbon was attached in the center. Inside the card I put some Pictures I had of a baby and then on the right side I put a pink piece of card stock and stamped Its a Girl on the top left and right and used the embossing powder. That's it. The person was delighted with her card .
