Sorry for your loss.


I always find this type of card difficult to do.
I used the Birthday Blooms Stamp set with Night of Navy ink pad to stamp the image.   Using an aqua painter brush filled with water and  brushed over the stamped image to pull some of the colour from the outline onto the petals to give the petals some colour.
I embossed a piece of Night of Navy card to give this card some texture.
I was happy with the way this turned out.

Pet Bereavement Card.

 I saw a CASE'd version of this card on FB done in red. As I own the cat punch from S.U. and some heart dies I decided to try this out for myself.  I don't know who the original creator was, but it certainly inspired me to try  it.


My first card attempt was done completely in black and white, then in red and black and finally I did it in red to give you an idea of the card that inspired me.






Although, I do think the original had  different smaller wording on the front and the sorry was on the inside of the card.

I think my favourite is the last black one.

To create this cat in the heart design.
 Cut a piece of card stock large enough for the heart die.
Punch out the cat from one side of the card.
Then lay your heart  shaped die over the  negative/ cut out of the cat and then die cut the heart shape.
The tiny heart is one of the shapes on the owl punch.

Floral Cards

 This card was an experiment to try out my new "Burlap"  background stamp.

I got a little carried away and ended up using stamps from five different sets for this one: Burlap background, You've got this, Riveting, Sharing is caring,  and You've got this.

I coloured the flowers with Copic Markers.






For the  second version, I used the retired Background stamp called
" Friendly".

I haven't added a sentiment to this one yet as I don't know what occasion this will be used for,  or who this card will be sent to.

Sorry for everything.

 I have been playing with post it notes again.
 Sponging various coloured inks over the edges of the post its to form the coloured section.

Leaving the post it's in place,  I  over stamped the coloured section using the French foliage stamp set  and dark brown ink.

The sentiment came from the  "Sorry for everything" stamp set from   S.U.
