Spotlight on Nature Friend Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your having a nice weekend!

The weather has been filled with sunshine but a tad on the cool side. I will still take it though!

Today I have a card to share that I made using the now retired Spotlight on Nature stamp set. It's a wonderful set and the dies have carried on into the new catalog come May!

Card Details:

Stamps: Spotlight on Nature (retired), Unbounded Beauty (sentiment retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Soft Seafoam, Garden Lane DSP (retired 2020)

Accessories: Unbounded Beauty Dies (retired), Textured Notes Dies (Online Exclusives), Blender Pen, Genial Gems (retired), Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

I used my Blender Pen to pull some some ink into my images to make it look like shadows. I haven't done that in ages and truthfully, I wasn't even sure the Blender Pens were even still sold by Stampin Up!. When I first got into making cards that was the way I learned how to color images....with an ink pad & a Blender Pen. 

Another pretty card for the bin!

Masculine Birthday Set

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I have a quick set of cards to share that I made for Audrey's card order using the Spotlight on Nature set and a few other goodies, too! She requested a set of masculine birthday cards with no specific theme. I know she doesn't ask for fishing or hunting cards so I usually go with leaves, feathers or some masculine style paper. Today I pulled out the Country Woods DSP and paired it with the Spotlight on Nature (leaf) set. Sometimes I have no rhyme or rhythm when creating a card so I just went on about my way trying to keep these masculine.

Card Details:

Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Pattern of Friendship (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Gray Granite, Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Country Woods DSP

Accessories: Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dots (retired), Misty Moonlight/White Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Stampin Seal

I know Audrey sends lots of cards out each week especially to her church family so this is why these are a bit plain. If you know me you know I always like to add ribbon and lots of bling but I know she doesn't care for all that. I leave the insides blank as she writes her own messages inside each & every card she mails out. What a feat for a 94 year old woman battling cancer but I do believe this gives her great joy! She is such an inspiration to us all!
