An acquaintance of mine recently had a double mastectomy. This is the card I made she’ll receive from me to let her know she’s in my thoughts and prayers. A good friend of hers says she is doing well and is in good spirits.
SU!’s Orchid Opulence is the card’s base and Apricot Appeal DSP (from an old SU! 6×6 package) and Handsome Hunter card stock was used in creating this card. The stamped flower is from SU!’s Touch of Nature (retired—sigh) stamp set . The flower image was stamped on white card stock using black ink. The stamped flower outline was colored in using Copic Markers. The sentiment, "Thinking of You", is a Verve stamp stamped using black ink.
I used Spellbinder dies to cut out the smooth and scalloped edge ovals. A Cuttlebug die created the butterfly and it was embossed using a corresponding Cuttlebug butterfly embossing folder. Itsy-Bitsy small pearls (my fingers are too fat for applying these cute pearls!) were added to the butterfly’s center.
StampTV’s sketch challenge STVSC33 provided me my card’s layout. I like the sketch—you can create lots of fun and good looking cards based on this sketch. To me it is a sketch that has staying power.
Stamp on and with Aloha! Aloha Jan
