Quick Update: I am heading off to the cottage today with the kids. Adam will be home so if you need anything please just call. Adam is going to check with Canada Post today, and everyday until my catalogues arrive!!! If you are in *need* of the catalogue or are in a club please just give him a call as he knows what to do! I will be on line about every other day so if I can be off any help just fire off an email as the local library has access. Also, keep checking back on my blog as I've premade my posts for while I am gone! Have a great week!
I am pleased with how this card turned out as it was a lot of work. It's difficult to see in this picture the number of steps I used to make this card but I'll try to explain it to you. I really like Kraft paper and LOVE stamping on it using the Craft Inks.
First I stamped the largest solid petal from Pick a Petal in White Craft Ink on the card. I reverse masked it meaning I cut out the size I wanted the red wings to be and used this "stencil" and stamped inside of it using the large solid petal. I did this so in the 'holes' of the lady bug you would see white. I then stamped the wings on the card using Red Craft Ink. I probably should have used my stamp-a-ma-jig but I just eye balled it. Then using masking I stamped the head and the body using Black Craft Ink.
The Birthday greeting is from Hugs and Wishes (a NEW set as well) stamped in Real Red Craft Ink. I punched the tag using the 2 large circle punches (see previous entry on how to make this tag). I drew the line of the lady bug path first then paper pierced it. The antennae have black brads (thanks Daphne!) and the matching brads are used to hold the Word Window punch outs for decoration.
Hi Heather: Tried e-mailing you but got returned. Hope you still have room for 2 more people at your fund raiser. Holly and I would like to attend. Please e-mail me your address and I will get money to you. Thanks, it is a great cause. Pat Childs
