Calum, our nephew, takes his first GCSE on Monday week so I have made this masculine card to wish him well. I have used the VLV Feb week 4 sketch, the OCC colours and this is also for the Sentimental Sundays challenge to focus on the sentiment. It was a difficult card to photograph as the DP stopped the camera from getting a proper focus but there is a star all glittered up on the end of the swirl.
I have been playing with my brayer as I have joined the Brayering class at MCC. Having produced a nice varied background with Sailboat Blue, Raspberry and Purple Twilight Adirondack inks I decided to cut it up and use it for the VLV Feb 2012 Week 2 sketch. I stamped it with images from Lavinia stamps and sentiments from Cloud 9 and Innovative Stamp Creations. I used Purple Stazon for the images and sentiments. The background is done using a Craft Concepts embossing folder.
I have made another 6 Christmas cards so that is 16 for February and 4 more than my target for each month, so I am quite chuffed. I used the VLVFeb2012 Week1 sketch and some Verve stamps and dies for these cards. I was also mindful of the Stampin Sisters in Christ post this week and even though this card has a partially hidden heart and no mention of the word LOVE it is all about true love. The photo shows the batch of 6 and a single card. There are a few variations but they are roughly the same.
