I am really dragging today. Dave and I drove to my parents yesterday, which is 2 hours away. My dad has just recently had a defibrillator for his heart put in and he is still recuperating. In Maine, lots of households heat with firewood to keep the cost of fuel down. My parents had 5 cords delivered a few weeks ago and it needed to be piled into the basement. I gathered my brothers and sisters and their families and we all pitched in. I have muscles in my body that I didn’t know existed this morning.
Anyway, Mojo Monday is here this morning with a new sketch. I thought I’d get right to it to get my morning going. Here is the sketch:
The stamp set I used is the “Kind & Caring Thoughts” Set of 12. Item #115324. I just love the many sentiments that are included in this set.
The background card is made using the new “In Color” Soft Suede card stock. I layered the retired DSP Parisian Breeze over the Soft Suede. I used my Stampin’ Write Markers to ink the images on Whisper White cardstock and layered over Real Red cardstock. The image in the large circle was highlighted by using a Stampin’ Sponge dipped in red ink and rubbed on the edges to give it the red highlight. I used my Photo Corners Punch, Item #109042 with the Real Red and retired DSP. I added a strip of Real Red punched with the Scallop Edge Punch, Item #112091 and layered the sentiment and the smaller image on top of that. The final touch was adding red brads to the card.
Enjoy your Monday!!
So Beautiful Debbie. I love this stamp set..Loz
You rocked the sketch! This is absolutely beautiful! Hope your muscles recover soon!
Hi Deb, this is my first time looking at your blog and your card is gorgeous. Wish we had the stamp set you used in our New Zealand catalogue, but maybe next time. Hope your Dad is okay and is keeping reasonable well. Take care
and hope your muscles recover soon too.
This came out beautifully! I love your colors and the images! Hope you dad is well!
Lovely card, so soft and sweet. Best wishes to your Dad. Hang in there, I know how draining it can be to support loved ones through difficult times but I know they'll appreciate it. Sara xx
