Today I did a triple challenge - CC,SC, & WT.
DH is back in the hospital for some clean up surgery on his foot & will go back to rehab tomorrow. I had a little time today so I thought I'd better get in as much as I could! The cards that have been sent to him and to me have been nothing less than amazing & we thank you all for lifting us up.
I used the CC brought to us by Karen Barber. I was one of those whining w/ her last CC so I'm glad to say that these colors are fantastic together. I also have dessert of gold embossing.
On Wednesday Roxie once again gave us a wonderful sketch. I hope to use this one again.
Last but not least, Collette asked us to do Faux Tile. My attempt failed as I don't think I scored my lines deep enough, so my stamp is in the grout!
I used some lovely lace that my sweet friend Pam gifted me. I think it's perfect for this card. To conserve this pertty lace, I only used enough to show on each side.
The tile square is on pop dots & the for you is on a thick dot. The gorgeous shell image is from Mark's Finest Papers & is clear embossed.
I will deliver this to my friend Sharon, who got to leave the rehab center on Wed. She is a happy camper now that she is settled in at home.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
