Another try

Theme: Sympathy



Hi there! I got this stamp off Amazon Warehouse and ever since, I've been wanting to have a go at it using my Sharpie markers. With the gift of some Memento ink, I was finally able to play! I stamped the image in the aforementioned Memento, a couple times to make sure I had the whole image. I hadn't used a dye pad since I was a child and it was hard for me to tell if I was putting ink down on the stamp. I colored it in with Sharpies and tried my hand at alternating colors with like colors. For my first time, I'm thrilled. I used the print then cut feature on Cricut for the sentiment and layered the background for the text an extra 3 times for some dimension. The vase started on A2 cut card stock but I cut it down so that I could layer it on the gray matting. It is a side folding card and I left it blank inside.

    Such a lovely card. I get the whole "second attempt" thing. In fact, I keep trying until I get it (somewhat) right. I'm not good at learning new techniques, so to be really honest, sometimes I just give up and don't try again. My greatest crafting struggle has always been, and forever will be, heat embossing. #epicfail every time. Come play along at Word Art Wednesday. Always Anything Goes/Family Friendly and lots of FAB prizes. www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com

      Hello again,
      Yes, I've just started my journey into heat embossing and so far I quite like it even if it doesn't always come out the way I was hoping. I just got 4 colors today that I look forward to playing with after our vacay - Holographic, Sticky (so I can add foil to anything!), Silver & White. I got the Maker in April and i've forayed into a bit since then. I never knew realized how badly I missed making things.

Theme: Sympathy Week of 7.21.21             For this top folding card I made for the MSC ( https://modsquadchallenge.com/with-sympathy/ ) I cut 'With Sympathy' using my Cricut Maker from gold vellum and secured it to the blue card stock border then adhered it to a black card stock. I glued a white panel on the inside so that there is space to write a personalized message.

Rainbow Bridge

 Another Day, Another Card Theme: Sympathy      Thinking of the Rainbow Bridge always brings me sadness but also the good memories start to pour forth. As soon as I saw the rainbow stencil on  KSS , I thought I should make a Rainbow Bridge card. I used both their rainbow and cloud stencil SVG. I used Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemon, Spiced Marmalade and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides for the rainbow. For the clouds I used a base of Black Soot and blended in Hickory Smoke Oxides. I found the cat silhouette on Cricut and modified it down to what you see. I also used the Cricut writing feature for the words. I glued the black silhouette to the rainbow and then matted it on purple. I had another version of the rainbow that I embossed but I didn't like that one either so I used the rainbow I liked best of the two. I made this for the  Mod Squad Challenge but I also think it's a good one to have on hand. The very first pet I lost as an adult rocked my world and my da
