November Sister Swap

Happy Wednesday! I am at my daughter's house, but have a minute to post while everyone is resting. This card was for the November swap that my sisters and I do. Terri was our "hostess" , and she wanted us to make cards using the negative of a punch . Her inspiration came from the Clean and Simple Stamping blog. You can see it here.

Honestly, it took me a couple of tries before I came up with something I liked. This card turned out pretty well. Blue is my go to color. I added the paper, ribbon and pearls to cover all that WHITE space.

Recipe:

Card base-Gina K, Pattern Paper-Basic Grey, Ribbon and Pearls-Joann's, Ink-Summer Sky-Memento, Close to Cocoa- Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by today. God Bless!

Happy Birthday Jim!

Good Day to you all. It is not quite noon here, so I am in between Good Morning and Good Afternoon!
The card I have today, I made over the weekend for my son Jim. He will be 26 tomorrow....he is my baby. I try not to think about it much, cuz' that might make me feel OLD!
I started by sponging the background with Memento's Summer Sky and Danube Blue. I was hoping to make it look like clouds over the mountains. I'm getting there, but still have a ways to go with sponging/blending colors. (I'd like to be a mouse in Theresa Mombers' closet, just to watch how she does this!!) The green is Stampin' Up's Mellow Moss. Cardstock is GinaK's Chocolate Kiss and SU Whisper White. Pattern paper is from a Basic Grey stack. Happy Birthday and Mountain images are from the Happy Camper set by Theresa Momber.
Hope you enjoy! Have a great day. God Bless!
