Hope this finds you doing well. I got some more cards ready to send out this morning, then helped Doyle with going thru some stuff in the garage. Then I had a total meltdown. Yup! I suspect everybody gets at least one total meltdown during this “shelter-in-place” time. Anyway, I am trying to put the train back on the tracks and just keep going. So thought I would share a card with you. The card uses the brand new Ornate Style stamp set (which will be in the new catalog that is coming soon). You may have seen the partially finished card I posted on my Facebook Business page (Linda’s Paper Sunshine) a few days ago. Here are my projects:
On the first card, I used a sentiment from the stamp set "Fable Friends", "glad we're friends". I used Memento Black ink to stamp the sentiment and cut it out using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Big Shot.
The second version uses a "get well soon" sentiment from the "Timeless Tulips" stamp set found in the January - June mini-catalog. I also used a Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Big Shot to cut it out.
The third card uses the sentiment "I miss you a lot" from the stamp set "Seriously The Best" (also from the January - June Mini-Catalog). I cut it out using a die from the All Dressed Up Dies (January - June Mini Catalog) and the Big Shot.
I added rhinestones to either side of the sentiment on all three versions.
Here is the inside of the card:
