I am looking forward to getting inky soon once my life gets back to "normal" whatever that is of late, with my father moving into Restvale Nursing Home on Tuesday it's been a very emotional time for the family and I still have a few more weeks of paperwork and coordinating his care before I will be able to relax.Back to Stamping! You may be starting here, so welcome or you may have come from Monique Fielder and she never disappoints.
My card this week is a combination of the gift box and card featured to the left.
I liked the simple design of the white card using the Detailed Floral Thinlits but wanted to use the stamp set as well at my card class, so this is what I came up with below. It uses my favourite colour for the 2016-2018 In Colours, Dapper Denim with Whisper White for a striking card.
I then made a second card using the thanks sentiment and then stamped the inside of the card to match.
Stamp Set: Floral Phrases
Cardstock: Dapper Denim, Thick Whisper White, Whisper White
Ink: Dapper Denim
Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies
My second card
I don't often stamp in the inside of my card but this set has a great matching sentiment and the long border stamp just finishes off the card.
Now it's time hop over to Simone Bartrum and see what she has made this week.

ReplyDeleteLovely set Kathryn, Hope you are feeling better health wise soon and that you can get through these next fee weeks. It is a very difficult time for family having been there on more than one occasion. Love and Hugs.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that you've managed any craft & blogging time with all you've had going on Kathryn! Onwards and upwards from here. So glad you shared your gorgeous card with us today. The stamping on the inside was the perfect touch to finish it off! Kelly x (PS, I next to never stamp on the inside cos I suck at getting sentiments straight - which means the last thing I stamp - the wonky sentiment, always ruins my card!).
ReplyDeleteKathryn you've had such a full on few weeks it must feel nice to have had a little time for crafting - even though it's because you're in isolation. You have made 2 lovely cards. Hope your Dad is settling well and that you recover very quickly. Take care of yourself, E
