Hello!
I didn’t know if I would have time to participate in World Card Making Day – but I did! (it’s noon & I am still in my pajamas…priorities, right?)
I admit I watercolored the carnations last night (so it would dry). The background, sentiment, assembly were all done today.
This card is leaving with a batch of brownies in the morning.
Have a great day! Let’s all go get inspired!
Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink, Stampin’ Up!, paper – Canson watercolor, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Taylored Expressions Plum Punch, inks – VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMark, ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens Cobalt Blue (031), Light Violet (081), die – Simon Says Stamp, sequins – Pretty Pink Posh, embossing powders – Ranger Super Fine Detail white, Stampendous Detail clear.
My colors were inspired by last week’s Color Throwdown Challenge #562.
I didn’t realize until I was finished blending the inks that I had played along with the challenge (I had the above graphic printed & sitting on my craft table), and by then I had missed the deadline.
Supplies: Stamps – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Strathmore Bristol, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Inks Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, Stormy Sky, VersaFine Onyx Black, stencil – My Favorite Things, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear.
I was inspired by this blog post, on the Ellen Hutson blog.

I am STILL playing with the new blending brushes!
From the top, I blended Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, and Chipped Sapphire.
After I let it dry, it looked a little MEH.
I taped a stencil over it, sprayed it with a fine mist of water and soaked up the water with a paper towel. The ink didn’t seem to be lifting, so I repeated that sequence 2 more times.
When it dried, I thought it looked like a stained glass window, so a sentiment with “prayers” was a perfect fit. I embossed it directly onto the “window”.
But then, I decided to run the piece through my Big Shot with a cardboard shim to flatten it (all of that misting made the card stock curl). NOPE. SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THE SENTIMENT EMBOSSING!
Redid the sentiment on black and covered the now peeling original sentiment. Crisis averted.

I have used this stamp with this color combination before, and I had stamped an extra envelope to match last time.
I was inspired by Kristina Werner’s use of border stamps to stamp both the top and the bottom of the panel.
