Hello, just popping in with 2 quick Mother's Day cards before I send them off to the grandmas. Can't believe it's May already and I actually made something. I wasn't really planning on making anything, but sometimes it's fun to just sit around and make cards. Maybe I was procrastinating, didn't want to get around to doing the not so fun chores and what not.
Anyhow, I used the sketch from CPS #262, unfortunately it took me so long to make the card that I didn't have time to do a post, so the deadline for that week's challenge has come and gone...
But here's my card anyhow.
I can't keep track of all the names of my stamps anymore and I'm too lazy to go look them up, but this is a Milton stamp colored with pencils. I tried to do that partial die cutting thing with the image sticking out of the circle. Made my own text and polka background paper using background stamps from Papertrey Ink. I like the idea of those background stamps but I have to practice a lot more with lining them up nicely. The sentiment is from a PTI tag-its. I thought those little butterflies Eva had on some previous cards were cute so I used my Michael's coupon to buy the Martha Stewart punch a while ago.
This was actually the first card that I made...without following a sketch. Then I decided I better go find one for my second card. Again Papertrey ink cardstock. Stamped the music background stamp from Hero Arts in Spun Sugar distress ink, it faded quite a bit when it dried, maybe I could use the brighter pink next time. Anyhow, that's it for me. Have a good rest of the week/month!
