This week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp: Monday Challenge is to make 'ATC's' or Artist Trading Cards, miniature pieces of art at 2 1/2 x 3 1/2.
I loved all the inspiration from the Simon Says Stamp team, especially the Tim Holtz Christmas Paper Dolls, but alas, I only had the regular Tim Holtz Paper Dolls...none looked wintry enough!
Time flies! It's hard to believe my middle son will be forty years old in a couple of weeks! So I decided to make his birthday card around the current theme of The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, 'Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters'...
I used some core Impressions: Timeless Collection ColorCore Cardstock from Graphic45, and some distress ink for the base, along with some Grungeboard from Tim Holtz, distressed with some Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder for the large wings, along with some Tim Holtz Timepieces and Game Spinners. The smaller wings are from my stash when a local store went out of business several years ago!
Thanks for looking!
I have a couple of 'snarky' stamps, so I wanted to slip this one in under the wire for Snarky, Sassy and Silly Summer Fun challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge.
This is my second card for the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Beautiful Blooms
My sister-in-law recently lost her father, so I made a card for her and also for her mother.
My sister-in-law is from Columbia, and her mother is very sweet and does not speak English. She recently lost her husband of 69 years, and my husband and I wanted to send her a special card. I speak very little Spanish, and have only one stamp set in Spanish for party invitations, so I looked up translator and printed a sentiment from my computer, 'With our deepest sympathy'. I would normally create a sympathy card with a butterfly or dragonfly, but wasn't sure if either was appropriate for someone from Columbia. I was excited to see the challenge from Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is for 'Beautiful Blooms'.
Thanks for looking!
A thank you to my sister-in-law for all she did for my husband's mother.
I love this Dragonfly Vine stamp from Stampendous and have used it several times in different designs for various occasions.
I was happy to see the challenge at TFJB Challenge Blog is 'Anything Goes' so I could share this card.
